Krindlekrax
by Philip Ridley

Ruskin Splinter is small and thin. The idea of him battling a dragon in the school play makes the whole class laugh. But beneath the dark bricks and cracked pavements of Lizard Street lurks the mysterious Krindlekrax. And when Krindlekrax threatens Lizard Street, Ruskin has the chance to prove he really is the stuff that heroes are made of!

The issue of bullying is a topical one. Kindlekrax deals with the important issue of whether a young person remains invisible, or fights back. The production addresses the following curriculum areas:

• English/Literacy – drama, speaking and listening skills and creative thinking skills
• Citizenship – self-awareness, communication and working with others

suitability: key stage 2
duration: 1 hour

The Spring Theatre in Education Tour of Refugee received phenomenal feedback from teachers:

“Very thought provoking. Posed many questions. The performance was outstanding - all children engaged. The workshops really supported the children’s speaking and listening skills."
