Böcker av Finegan Kruckemeyer

In For We the Young, a collection of plays by one of Australia''s most beloved writers of theatre for young people, Finegan Kruckemeyer offers a glimpse into worlds of quiet sorrow and deep joy, daring feats and ingenious leaps. His quirky humour and surprising stories release the imagination and let it run wild, trailing images and words behind like so many footprints in the snow. In My Robot, pieces of junk and pieces of people form the cure to a young inventor''s homesickness. In Love, a big-hearted boy tries to save the most precious things in his town from a huge storm. In The Snow, a ''tiny child'' tackles mean birds and deep darkness to find a way through the mountain of snow that has cut off his village. In This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing, three sisters traverse the globe to find their true selves. And in the dystopian world of Where Words Once Were, our hero learns the damage words can do, along with their power to heal.

Ages 4 years & over. Zachary's height is exactly the height of an average boy for his average age. Zachary's hair lies exactly the way, of an average boy's on an average day. And when he dreams at night, Zachary dreams the most average dreams. Because Zachary Briddling... is awfully middling. And it makes him so grumpy! Zachary wants to be different. So he thinks of all the other places out there -- filled with giants, and miniatures, and hairy things, and flying things -- places where he would not be middling at all. And so he sets out... to stand out. The Grumpiest Boy in the World is a playful escapade of the imagination celebrating ordinariness and extraordinariness -- and the grumpiness that can come from thinking we have too much of one, or not enough of the other.

Emma the Greek will sail the seas alone to save her father; Noah will search for his wife who flew off a bridge; Elise will fight the dragons snapping at her heels as she drives each night to lull her baby to sleep; Caleb, a curious misfit, will swim vast oceans to prove his love for Sylvia Wist; Sylvia Wist can climb up waterfalls and jump time and space. She may not be ordinary but then neither is love. At Sea, Staring Up is a richly poetic magical relationship drama that follows the journeys of five characters all motivated by love. Set over three continents and one vast ocean this richly poetic, thought provoking play weaves together a world of people who have lost, or are looking for love. (7 male, 3 female).
