ACTION MAN AND THE LOST KIDS – CHILDREN’S PLAY FOR KIDS AGED 7 TO 14

Jim and Julie are two children like all other modern day children. They are never happier than when they have their noses in some screen or other. They have lost the power to interact as children should. Their old toys are very concerned and start to worry about what will become of them as it seems the children simply don’t want them anymore. If they’re lucky, it’s the charity shop, but if not… could they be simply thrown away and never thought of again? A Children’s play for kids aged 7 to 14.

Their Father, who works for the power company has found himself in the middle of a strike and it seems there is no resolution. The workers down tools and go on strike which results in their whole area being without power.  But the two children learn there is fun and magic to be had with their toys, playing simple games and even talking to their parents. Ultimately the Kids are relieved to find that their world can be restored but they use it more cautiously and realise they have had a lesson in not take things for granted.
