Monkey Bars (Oberon Modern Plays) - Softcover

"Excellent - Occasionally moving and somewhat satirical - sweet and funny.' - Time out 'Delightfully surreal - highly entertaining - Hilarious and poignant by turns' - Telegraph 'A funny, touching, diffuse look at The Big Questions... crisply perfect... It moves you. It makes you think. It makes you laugh and it makes you well up more than once.' - What's on Stage 'beautifully pitched - an eye-opening, refreshing pleasure' - Independent 'a small gem from eclectic polymath Chris Goode - This neatly crafted show is far removed from Michael Barrymore's Kids Say the Funniest Things. Instead it's simple, absorbing and at times beautiful' - Evening Standard 'Goode's approach ends up being thought-provoking and complex, and satirical about adults - very entertaining' - Independent on Sunday"

"When you're a child you don't really think...cos you like to live like a child. Doesn't really seem you're just going to be an adult. Like time flies by and you just want...to, like, stay as a child, but you just enjoy things, the way it goes. Award-winning writer Chris Goode asked over seventy young children to talk about their lives. In Monkey Bars, their words are spoken by adults - playing adults in adult situations. A revelatory verbatim show that's funny, touching and endlessly surprising."
