It can be acted out by the cast with script, songs and dances, or for a simpler performance, the songs can be sung by a chorus and linked with the narrated story.
An allotment has become a rubbish tip for G.R.O.T.s, which stands for 'Get Rid Of That!' – the last words they heard before being dumped! On top of a tatty three-seater sofa (Bulky Waste), perches Goggle-Box, an ancient TV. Velocity, a mountain bike is propped up on one side, and Drip, a fridge full of junk food, lolls against the other. Plastic bags and bottles drift about, and a supermarket trolley careers all over the place!
When LT250, a bright young laptop, lands on the pile, it searches the Internet for help. The Wasteland Warriors pick up the email and come to the rescue. But while they're busy recycling the rubbish and regenerating the allotment, Slick, a can of motor oil, is lurking by a nearby pond!Age guide: 7 to 14 (KS1, KS2, KS3)
