Fairyland The Musical

Fairyland is not just a show it’s an ideal. Originated over twenty years ago by Peter Frow as a bedtime story for his daughter, this charming show can’t help but to find it’s way into your heart. Because everyone needs to believe in something. With a world full of hate and worry what could be better than to lose yourself in a show that encapsulates the ideology of hope. A land where fairies are real and good overpowers evil. A cast nurturing young talent and embracing experience with it’s equivalent of a fairy Danny Dyer, Bill Crundle (Jack Silver) and a role reminiscent of Captain Jack Sparrow, Scatterjack (Peter Frow) it’s just what is needed to cheer us. Full of catchy numbers everyone wants to believe in fairies. It has been my absolute pleasure to support and see this piece of new writing evolve into a fully-fledged production. So dare to believe visit Fairyland today – because fairies are real aren’t they………

SHORT SYNOPSIS

Two young video game obsessed teenage boys. Jim, who’s struggling with his parents divorce and his best friend Matt. A power cut stops them playing their video games so they have to rely on their imaginations for entertainment. Inventing their own adventures they embark on a journey of discovery aboard their homemade go-cart as Jim hatches a plan to stop his parents divorcing. However a newcomer to the road, Jack, challenges the boy’s friendship but together they inadvertently find themselves on a mission to save Christmas – in July.

DIRECTORS STATEMENT

In THE INVENTURERS as in real life play blurs the boundaries of what is real and what is not. In play children explore a reality outside the real world, for some this may be a secret world as it is for Jim and Matt.

THE INVENTURERS is designed to encourage creative thought and play, to inspire children to create for themselves away from the easy reward of the computer and video game where children don’t have to use there own imagination. It’s all done for them. Memories are made this way. Fun, fresh air and finding things out for themselves is good for a child ‘s wellbeing. Children should be able to experience the world that we live in, enjoy a sense of freedom and shouldn’t be wrapped up in a ball of cotton wool or left stranded in front of the computer screen in their bedrooms, children barely roam anymore.

Whilst the computer, video games and television have an important role to play the back garden is a playground for the imagination, there is a wider world out there to explore, experience and learn from. Children and teenagers now tend to gravitate to their bedrooms and the addictive solitary ‘social’ networking. Most parents nowadays are too busy to do anything with their own and leave them parked in front of a video or computer game, because it’s convenient to them so they can get on with what they want to. Memories are made from personal experience, lessons are learnt from real life, even if you make something and it doesn’t work you learnt from the process, sometimes the journey itself is often better than the destination.

One of the more important themes of the film is the importance of family and how a loving family bond creates stability and happiness. The film addresses how when a family unit is broken down how it affects the children involved and the negative effects it has. The effects the divorce has on the main protagonist not only leaves emotional scars but also gives him a new sense of determination to try and put things right in his own way.

Life for Jim was always happy with his Dad at home and life would never be the same again. He thinks is he not important enough for him anymore? Why does he not stay? Does he not love me in the same way? Jim’s Dad was everything to him, he doesn’t understand why his Dad shouldn’t want to be with his Mum anymore and therefore thinks the bigger the statement he makes the more chance he has of bringing them back together again. Jim’s parents completely under estimated the effect of their breakup has had on their son.
