Wow, a fantasy adventure play! Aren't really many of those around unless they were adapted from another medium. Congrats on getting it all transposed, now to get it performed! Can you give any sort of synopsis?

Hi Robert. It's about time that someone is interested in my play. I have registered it with the Writers Guild and have just received 2 more sources that may produce it. Here is the synopsis. I can discuss acts, scenes or dialogue if anyone is interested. I created one character for the panic/calm humor of Robin Williams and will contact him when I know where it will be produced to ask him to play the part of the conjoined geryon (twin) of Kuroko/Rokoku.There are several mystical creatures that can be found on the internet like Wodwose and Malfestu.

‘Misfit Odyssey’ Synopsis:
Arrogant Canny, his little sister and two friends fall into a whirlpool during the school science fair at the park. They land in a space-time dimension with mystical creatures. Villagers, tell the children they must go to the Woodland Guardian Fairy’s Crystal Castle before they can go home. They must pass through, the evil wizard, Ondska’s land of “Un-Blue” among other challenging dilemmas. Canny gets trapped in an electrical sparking cage in the forest, disappears into the wizards illusions in the cave and is changed into a giant spider in the valley. A gypsy, Esmeralda, gives the children a magic lodestone to help them overcome the evils that befall them, but it is soon lost. She reappears to help them solve a riddle before they can enter the castle when they must prove they are true of heart.
After they are allowed to enter the castle, Canny learns that the wizard’s ‘tall as tree’ pet leech, who lives in the lake, must be killed to break the evil spell on Xandria, the Woodland Guardian Fairy, who is clothed in rainbow colors. The leech battles the children’s magical pet lizard. The wizard vows revenge and is pulled into a black hole. Xandria rewards the children with unusual gifts and sends them home. Canny and his friend, Eek are convinced that Missy’s book hypnotized them and they didn’t really experience the adventure at all. But Missy and her friend, Cheyenne say that the adventure really did happened. When they all return to the table in the park to get the book, they watch in amazement as the Magical Creatures Book, poof, disappears. Playwright Mary Pallais
