Rock Bottom by Craig Hawes

"You'd be mad not to buy this - yet another hilarious hit from Craig Hawes. It's a laugh-a-minute show, with jokes for all ages strewn in cleverly along the way. The songs are catchy and easy to pick up; you'll be singing them for weeks afterwards! Our Year 3 & 4 children had a fantastic time rehearsing and performing this super show and they (and their audiences) will remember it for years to come. Fred Flinstone eat your heart out!"

The Amazing Adventures of Superstan Cover

The Amazing Adventures of Superstan by Craig Hawes

Star Rating

"A Craig Hawes show is always a guaranteed hit at our school, but Superstan has to be his best yet! The superhero theme had every child hooked from the first read-through and they couldn't wait to rehearse! A brilliantly written script packed with hilarious jokes and slapstick and wonderfully catchy songs that children learn quickly and love to sing. The audience response was overwhelming, our parents were thrilled, so thanks for a "Super" show!"

Star Rating

"The best performance ever by the children, parents and other schools thought it was so funny and the acting was brilliant, especially Rene the french rooster (based on hello, hello). The children were really sad to see it end. We performed in the Opera House in Hastings and was given a standing ovation not just by the audience but by the opera house as the best scipt, songs and performance ever by a school. It was awesome and so easy to do, can't wait to do it again in a few years time. "
