Written by BAFTA award winning writer Roy Apps and composer Christopher Wortley.

At first, Jonathan resists, but soon he embarks on an exhilarating, funny and touching journey of self-discovery. With a large cast that includes young vampires and ghouls - not to mention a headless teacher - this fun-packed musical will have prospective spooks shivering with delight.

Valley Of The Voodons (4m, 5f+ support + chorus) 50 mins    
Valley of the Voodons has a conservationist theme and is set on a distant planet, where the people of Zandrus are plagued by periodic attacks from the evil Voodons. Queen Fara is retiring in favour of her daughter Princess Kimnos, to the fury of her son Prince Dronos - a lazy fellow who prefers to surf with his friends. The Voodons attack the city and capture Princess Kimnos and Prince Dronos. In Voodon Valley, the creatures, in cohorts with a land despoiler Baron Wastes, are constructing a machine that will manufacture magdonite - a deadly substance that can be used in the tip of intergalactic warheads. The machine ultimately gets turned against Baron Wastes and the Voodon leader Stark, so that peace and harmony can be established on Planet Zodark.

Windust (10m, 6f, 3m/f + support + chorus) 50 mins  
Windust is a satire on the western movie genre. The townspeople of Little River are constantly plagued by drought and bandits. In desperation, the sheriff sends for a gunfighter called the Drongo Kid whom he has found listed in the Yellow Pages. However, the gunfighter turns out to be shortsighted and incompetent. Two of the school children, Shane and Charlotte escape into the hills where they are captured by the bandits. Realising that an attack is imminent, the school teacher persuades the sheriff to treat the bandits with kindness and generosity, a plan which backfires. However, the arrival of Professor Pecksniff, a travelling quack doctor and the erratic behaviour of the Drongo Kid save the day. It transpires that the professor is a geologist who has discovered a permanent water supply, thereby saving the town and ensuring its future prosperity.
