THE MONSTER UNDER THE BED

KEVIN DYER

A funny and thrilling play for children about friendship, and facing up to your fears.

Ben has a BIG problem. His best friend Vince has stolen his precious binoculars, his Dad is far, far away... oh, and there's a monster under his bed.

But when Ben swaps places with the underbed monster, Ben's life - and his school - is turned inside out, and upside down.

Winner of the Writer's Guild Award for Best Children's Play

"Drawing with delicacy and wit upon the childhood fantasy of the monster under the bed, writer Kevin Dyer proves why that endangered species, the original play for children, is worth saving. This is a terrifically entertaining story about fathers and sons and the monster inside all of us.

There's plenty of fun as the Little Underbed Monster takes Ben's place at school for the day, causing havoc in the classroom The over-sixes will just enjoy the romp. It's a joyful examination of the benefits and snares of believing the ridiculous". - Lynn Gardner, The Guardian
