Poorly Planet is an hour-long musical for younger children about a boy called Rain.

 

Rain has possibly got the worst parents in the history of the world. He is at the end of his tether trying to get them to behave. They don’t give a hoot about the planet and it’s exhausting trying to sort out the mess they make every single day. Their recycling is haphazard, to say the least. They do things like put the wine bottle in the glass bin but not the mayonnaise jar because it’s too much of a faff to rinse out. They use the food bin until it’s full but then, as it's gross, chuck the whole lot in the main rubbish. And they can never, absolutely ever remember when the recycling goes out. Rain has to second guess all their silly mistakes and try to put them right. 

 

This musical is by Hero Douglas (music/story) and Dixe Wills (lyrics). Performances will be announced soon.
