Class 4S are taking a coach trip to Alton Towers. Or are they? Tricia seems to think otherwise, and convinces her classmates that they're really journeying to the centre of the Earth as part of an experiment by terrorists, who are robots made to look like Simon Cowell. It's all part of The Spirisy, apparently, which their form teacher, Miss Sheehan is part of, not to mention the Nasties, the Arabesques and the Funny Mentalists. School Journey to the Centre of the Earth gives a hilarious insight into an eight-year-old imagination and casts the world of adults in a whole new light It was commissioned by the National Theatre as part of the Shell Connections Festival in 2006 and can be performed by 15 young people from Year 6 upwards.

"A Summer in the Park" is Allen's account of his career as a government sponsored advocate heckler; available from midday each Sunday, to teach the techniques of banter to newcomers, and heckle on behalf of shyer members of the public. It is an hilarious account of the techniques and vulnerabilities of the art of performance, and a manifesto for Allen's anarchic utopia, in which tolerance and opposition are freely intertwined with the exploration of ideas.

Jeff is an adventurous nine-year-old boy who gets inspired to make a hot air balloon after reading an exciting story in a book. Thus with his best friends in tow, Jeff assembles the necessary supplies and begins working on his very own hot air balloon. Many of the people in the town of Weston, where Jeff lives, ridicule him for trying to build such a crazy contraption. But Jeff is convinced his balloon will fly and, to the amazement of nearly everyone, it actually does! Jeff and His Magic Hot Air Balloon is a delightful contemporary children's story that's partially based upon memories from the author's own childhood. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/KaraCliffe
