Short synopsis
- Synopsis
- Characters
Tommo’s parents were involved in a car crash and his dad died and his mother was seriously injured. The shock of having to cope not only with the loss of her husband and her own injuries, but trying to look after her son who has Autistic Spectrum Disorder has caused his mum to have a breakdown and she is currently in a psychiatric hospital having ongoing treatment. Unfortunately she isn’t well enough for Tommo to visit.
Tommo is currently living with Matt, who was his dad’s best friend, Matt is also Tommo’s Godfather and has known him and been around him all his life. Because of Tommo’s inability to readily understand everything, Matt has devised games and routines to involve Tommo, and they work, and Tommo is bright, healthy and happy.
Matt gets a visit at his flat from Miss Gregson from Social Services, following a complaint from a member of the public. She ignores the situation and starts quoting rules and regulations regarding children under eighteen and threatens to remove Tommo to a ‘safe place.’ Both Tommo and Matt are aghast at the possibility but Gregson forces her will and Tommo is taken away.
Tommo’s life is again turned upside down and his school work suffers and he changes and rebels at school and then he goes missing. Gregson turns up at Matt’s flat expecting to find Tommo there but he’s not. After a heated discussion Matt admits he knows where Tommo is and then Gregson offers Matt a lifeline as she’s realised that she has made a mistake and finally Tommo and Matt are reunited.

Frequently asked questions
Can we try before we buy?
Of course! All our plays and pantomimes have a free Preview Script available for download as an A4 pdf file that contains 60-75% of the full script. If you like what you read then you can buy an inexpensive e-script of the entire play (typically less than half the cost of a traditional printed script) which is licensed to you for your personal use. Purchasing a script copying licence allows you to make just enough copies to support rehearsals and performances.
All our musicals are included in our perusal service. Through this, representatives of producing organisations can request a USB Stick of perusal material which comprise the script/libretto and piano/vocal score as PDF files; a Cast (or Studio) Recording as MP3 files and (where available) an MP4 file video of either the premiere production or of a subsequent production.
Some titles have the facility to read the entire script online on our website.
Do we need a Licence To Perform?
The simple answer is, yes.
Under the international laws of copyright, you must be in possession of a valid, unexpired licence before performing any piece of theatre unless the owner or managers of the copyright has waived their rights.
Why do you insist on providing a formal royalties quotation?
When you request a quotation, it is logged in our system, it forms part of an orderly queue and protects your place in that queue should multiple licensing requests occur for the same show.
