Adapted from the popular series by Duncan Ball, Emily Eyefinger is a lighthearted joyous work with resonating themes of identity, respect, self worth and friendship.

Emily Eyefinger is the story of an adventurous heroine, Emily, who was born with an extraordinary gift: an eye on the end of her finger! But Emily has a dilemma: "Am I Emily because of my eyefinger or am I Emily because of me?"

Emily struggles with being different and confiding in her best friend Malcolm, begins to contemplate life without her eyefinger, even considering surgical removal!

As Emily ponders her dilemma, she embarks on her biggest adventure yet. With her Great Aunt Olympia, Emily heads into the deep dark jungles of South America where she rescues Malcolm and his father Professor Mousefinder, foils a kidnapping attempt by the evil Arthur Crim and solves the mystery of the Ancient Caves of Tutenmousen.

With the help of those around her, Emily eventually finds pride in her ‘bit of difference’ and acknowledges that sometimes it's better to leave things as they are.

Adapted from the book by Susanne Gervay, I Am Jack follows the story of Jack, a smart, funny, 11 year old boy who’s being badly bullied at school.

What starts as an off the cuff joke during a handball competition, soon turns into a set of circumstances whereby Jack is no longer safe in the playground. But with the use of self expression through photography, Jack begins to make sense of his world; of his relationships with others, and most importantly, with himself.

This excellent one man show explores the often overlooked insidious taunting and teasing that bullies are so adept at inflicting on their victims and the roles that family and schools can play in responding to this topic. Jack takes us on a touching and sometimes comical journey as he moves from victim to victor.
