OLLIE - HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SAVE THE WORLD, BUT CAN HE SAVE HIS BEST FRIEND?

An original, fun, family production for all ages, with wonderful puppets, madness and mayhem!

Ollie & The Slurge manages to tackle two important issues - Bullying and How to care for our precious environment - without preaching, but with loads of laughs, and maybe even a tear or two.

Ollie is bullied at school, because of his appearance, and his ideas on caring for the environment.
The boss bullies Ollie’s father at work, because times are hard.
The boss’s wife bullies the boss at home, because she always wants more money.
And none of them know how to change things.

One day, the boss tells Ollie’s father to dump some unwanted waste into the sea to save money. What can he do, but obey?The consequences are far greater than anyone can imagine! From the rubbish and creatures on the beach, the Slurge monsters are created. They eat anything! But as they eat, they grow and transform… And soon they begin to terrify the city as they devour everything in their path.

One of these creatures, Spudge, has a conscience, and an accidental meeting with Ollie.

Their friendship grows, and together they learn how to deal with bullies – and also how to destroy the Slurge Monsters…
But with tragic consequences - and possibly the ultimate sacrifice - for one of them.
