ON TOUR – LARGE CAST TEEN PLAY FOR MOSTLY MALE CAST

A British boy’s choir from Oxford touring the country of Lina (A fictional dictatorship) is unexpectedly drawn into a coup to depose the current leader of Lina, the Gong. The boys from England are simply not used to the laws of a dictatorship and get themselves into plenty of trouble by mentioning simple things like forbidden dates, sneaking away from the guided tours of the city and even getting themselves kidnapped in the process! Two of the boys have a mother who was actually born in Lina but who moved England when she was very young. But is her past more mysterious than they thought? A large cast teen play for a mostly male cast by British playwright Nicholas Richards.
