WHAT YOU GET

USING THE RESOURCE

RESOURCE FILES

The complete script of the play Growing Pains. The play is an extract from a CD that combines drama tips, science activities and set instructions with everything you need to stage a successful production. Carbunckle a robot, Princess Creosote an alien and Joseph Soap the gardener, meet in a series of humorous discussions trying to establish why plants die, or grow well.

You need to print out the script and photocopy enough for every pupil involved. If the names of the characters do not fit your school's circumstances the pupils might like to rename them. Further information about the full CD is available at www.littleoctopus.com.
