Synopsis

An engaging classroom playscript.

Daniel has never known the outside world.

Raised in a dark, secluded room by his reclusive mother, his only comfort is a beautiful doll's house, a replica of his mother's childhood home.

However, the unexpected arrival of a local doctor changes everything and Daniel begins to realize just how many secrets his mother has sheltered him from.

His discovery of a sinister doll hidden within the doll's house, and the sudden appearance of his mysterious uncle, Captain Severn, reveals a chilling family secret that Daniel must confront.
