Alan Ayckbourn: plays two

A treat to read and a joy to perform, this second collection of Alan Ayckbourn's work is a cornucopia of some of his wonderfully inventive children's plays. From the story of the teenage Lucy inInvisible Friendswho revives her childhood imaginary friend when things get difficult at home, onto the storytellers inMy Very Own StoryandThis Is Where We Came Inand, finally, to young Ernie who 'illucinates' all sorts of wild and weird happenings with astonishing results.
