Based on the Ray Bradbury story THE HALLOWEEN TREE, this play is a fast-moving, eerie tale set on Halloween night. Eight costumed boys running to meet their friend Pipkin at the haunted house outside town encounter instead the huge & cadaverous Mr. Moundshroud. As Pipkin scrambles to join them, he is swept away & Moundshroud leads the boys on the tail of a kite through time & space to find the meaning of Halloween. There’s a funeral procession in ancient Egypt, cavemen discovering fire, Druid rites, the persecution of witches in the Dark Ages, and the gargoyles of Notre Dame ...and then they catch up with the elusive Pipkin in the catacombs of Mexico, where each boy gives one year from the end of his life to save Pipkin's. It’s mystery-history!
PLEASE NOTE: This play does talk about Halloween themes and history, including witches, funerals and haunted houses. It’s based on the Ray Bradbury book of the same title.
