Summary
Based on the very popular children's book, The Demon Headmaster by Gillian Cross, this musical is fun, exciting and a little bit scary. An early version of the musical was 'workshopped' at the Royal National Theatre's studio in 1997 and premiered at The Pleasance Theatre, London. In 1999 it enjoyed a very successful national tour.
"The juvenile audience gave every sign of being enthralled and it would be a hard-hearted adult who wasn't moved too." - Sunday Telegraph
