This collection of two plays starts off with a bang and quickly becomes an undersea adventure! In these strange pandemic times, I feel most kids will be able to relate to the young adventurers in 'The Land of Submaries' as they escape a dangerous world - but it IS an escape, full of funny, fascinating creatures! 'The Octopus's Garden' is a magical, musical story about a family feud - like R&J for kids! From an educator's perspective, the clear character types will do a LOT to help young and/or inexperienced actors make strong choices!
