"I thought the play was exciting because it had five villains in it and five heroes in it. This made it unique." "The music and lyrics were brilliant and funny at the same time." |

Roy has written many plays for the theatre. These are his lastest musicals for schools: |
Time Spinner A musical for KS2 performers by Roy Apps & Nicola Jane Buttigieg A time-traveller from the future visits a 21st century school . If you were light years ahead in the future, living on Taurus IV, perhaps your parents would let you spin the family travel vehicle for 20 minutes - it's just like riding a bike, to them. But to use the time-travel facility on it, that is NOT allowed, not even to replace Gran's special sparkly glass artefact from the Elizabethan age (the 21stth century!). So when Rosemary breaks the glass, and then breaks all the rules to get a new one, she has some surprises in store! For more details visit www.nextgenpublications.com |

The Fang Gang A musical for 8-12 year old performers by Roy Apps & Christopher Wortley. Based on Roy's popular children's books. Junior Rocky Horror! When Jonathan Leech is sent to stay with his grandad, he discovers -to his horror- that grandad is a vampire (albeit not a very successful one). Before he knows it, Jonathan is invited to join the Fang Gang, a gruesome collection of young ghouls, werewolves, zombies and vampires. At first Jonathan resists, but soon he embarks on an exhilarating, funny and touching journey of self-discovery. With a cast that includes young vampires, werewolves and ghouls -not to mention a headless teacher- this fun-packed musical will have all prospective spooks shivering with delight. |
