Rocket and the Queen of Dreams

Run Time: 60 minutes

Rocket is a little boy with a problem: he's afraid of monsters. His father assures him that there are no monsters in his room, his house or his neighbourhood - but Rocket already knows all that. The monsters he's afraid of are in his dreams.

Through a brilliant fusion of shadow theatre, puppetry and live performance, this world premiere takes us on a magical journey into the ethereal world we normally know only in our sleep. Produced by Toronto's award-winning Roseneath Theatre, Rocket and the Queen of Dreams is written by internationally acclaimed playwright David S. Craig (Danny, King of the Basement), with puppet design by David Powell and a full original score by Richard M. Sacks. Inspired by actual children's dreams, this magical and empowering experience will delight, encourage and inspire young audiences, while resonating in the imaginations of grown-ups as well.
