Don't do this! Don't to that!
Don't drop lego on the mat,
If you do my little friend,
You'll come to a STICKY END!
Sticky Ends: The Spooky Edition is a collection of brand new
Halloween-themed comic cautionary stories and songs for modern children. Full of original song, lots of joining in and a brand new story improvised every show, never again will your child throw away the contents of their carved pumpkin, resist having a shower or pick their nose excessively after watching Sticky Ends: The Spooky Edition (or will they . . .)
Each batch of tales lasts 40 minutes followed by a brand new bonus story, improvised on the spot, inspired by audience suggestions!
Sticky Ends is A two-hander adaptable to any space, making it a perfect for community events, festivals and conventional touring venues as well as libraries and schools where it can be combined with an engaging story-writing workshop suitable for KS1 or KS2 students.
