Readers love the charming and fantastical elements of this children's play. They appreciate its minimal set design, which effectively transports the audience through Marco Polo's historical adventures. The play is praised for being an exciting and quick read suitable for all ages.
Synopsis
THE STORY: Everyone is familiar with the tale of Marco Polo and his epic journey into the remote and exotic kingdom of Kublai Khan.
But here the story is given extra dimension through elements of court intrigue, the attraction between the hero and the Khan's lovely daughter, and the greedy machinations of Marco's father and uncle.
Using mime, magic and staging of imaginative simplicity, the play builds steadily in suspense until its exciting conclusion, when the villain is punished and virtue rewarded at last.
