Shoeboy in Pumpkin Land (Score)Shoeboy in Pumpkin Land is a wonderfully surreal and Carrollesque opera for young people, brought to you by the wacky partnership of mad lyricist, Max Scratchmann, and round the bend composer, Michael Dyer. Dealing with the joint themes of alienation and acceptance in a darkly comic manner, this easy to stage one act opera is the perfect vehicle for schools and or youth theatre companies seeking to help children confront serious issues in a fun way.
