Joe has problems – his mum doesn’t listen to him, especially since Granny Maggie died; his brother’s a bully and his dad doesn’t seem to know who Joe is . . .

Then one day something really weird happens; there is a freak accident with his playstation and, incredibly, Joe discovers a portal to another world . . .

When dad falls into the portal, Joe must follow and play the game of his life to save him

They find themselves battling with animated stick men, life sized talking dust

mites and bizarre video game characters, not to mention a game show run by monkeys . . . but over in the distance someone familiar is beckoning . . .

Performed at forum twenty eight, February 11th and 12th 2008
