About the Play

A new imaginative play for young people from award-winning writer Kieran Lynn, winner of the Alpine Fellowship Theatre Prize 2018.

Alex and Sara are worried. Their daughter Lee starts school soon and they think her best friend Ernie is going to be a problem.

It isn’t that he is badly behaved or mischievous, the problem with Ernie is that he is imaginary.

They hatch a plan to force their daughter to grow up and to get rid of Ernie. But as the plan begins to work they learn a lesson that parents usually have to teach their children – be careful what you wish for.
