Two lonely teenagers, Kirsty and Gideon find refuge from their stressed and unhappy family lives in a deserted community centre. Neither realises they share the same refuge, until one fateful evening…

From their first tentative and defensive meeting, a friendship begins to bloom. Through the paintings of Gideon, and out of their imagination, a magical kingdom is created.

Both begin to develop a new and precious friendship as they explore their fears, family relationships and identities through the magical stories they share; gradually becoming more and more able to face the harsh realities of our own world.

A breathtaking production with a lot to say to young people, teens, and adults - about looking for beauty and thinking beyond the five ‘C’s - about breaking out of the mould and finding out what is truly valuable.

Excellent script, and crisp acting... good plotlines and exploration of the varied emotions...(Ms Sim, Serangoon Garden Secondary School)

With such a sensitive theme and storyline, it warranted a delicate hand... Director Brian Seward was spot on with the warm candlelights and elimination of harsh stage lights... It was a good first step for this new theatre group... (Flying Inkpot
