Snake In The Grass
Alan Ayckbourn
Suzy's father took off in a balloon one day and has not come down since.
When Neville, her dog, loses his bark, she is sure the mysterious Mr Acousticus has something to do with it.
What happens when they search the house is up to the reader, due to the ingenious stagecraft of the author.
"Contains mystery, suspense and imagination." - The Guardian"Kept a young audience spell bound for 90 minutes with dazzling display of imaginative and technical virtuosity. On one level [it] is a charming children's story, [but there are] traces of the master's pungent humor."
