The Phantom Tollbooth
Leeds Civic Theatre, 16 - 20 November 2004
Producers:
M Martin & J Curtin
A children's play in two acts, by Susan Nanus. Based on the book by Norton Juster


There was once a boy named Milo who didn't know what to do with himself- not just sometimes, but always. Wherever he was he wished he was somewhere else, and when he got there he wondered why he'd bothered. Nothing really interested him, least of all the things that should have. Until the day the mysterious package arrived.

Journey with Milo and his new friends the Humbug and Tock, the watchdog as they travel through the Kingdom of Wisdom fighting the monsters of Ignorance as they attempt to rescue the Princesses of Rhyme and Reason from the Castle in the Air and restore Peace to the Kingdom.
