Flibberty and the Penguin

by David Wood

PLAY LENGTH: 1.5 hrs

Suitable for all ages – young and old.

Young Penguin has come from Iceland to find his mother and father. This must be done before the spring weather becomes too warm.

He falls in with Flibberty, a genial goblin, who helps him in his search. They incur the wrath of Krafty Kingfisher, who accuses Penguin of stealing a fish from him. On their journey the two meet, among others, two silly cuckoos, a helpful bus driver, and the famous Mr. Maestro.

Eventually the parent penguins are discovered in the zoo. Flibberty and Penguin manage to set them free and put Krafty Kingfisher in his place. Everything ends well, even for Kingfisher, as all the characters gather in the Concert Hall to join (with the audience) in a song to Spring.

"Ideal entertainment for children of all ages with strong audience participation, catchy songs, and delightful characters"

" . . . much inventiveness. At one point there is a sustained chase resulting in a frenzy of audience participation."
