Edward, the Owl and the Calico Cat

Edward is a bossy little boy who likes to make up funny words. He lives on a cliff above the ocean with his cat named Grace, whom he pushes around once too often. When she takes off for points unknown with a seafaring owl named Tex, Edward follows to win her back. When Grace and Tex are captured by the Turkey Who Lives on the Hill, the Dragonfly, Grasshopper, Butter-fly, Beetle, and Bee get a message to Edward. But will Edward save Grace and discover a hard truth about love? Find out in this delightful, fast-paced children's play based on the life and work of Victorian poet Edward Lear. Written in simple poetry, limericks, and rhymes, it contains adaptations of folk songs from America, Britain, Ireland, and Wales. This piece was commissioned by the Pollyanna Theatre Company and won the B. Iden Payne Award for Best Original Script.
