I'm a little hesitant to name the children's author on whose work this play is based as one of her novels has been turned into an animated film by a rather big company, and when I posted a radio adaptation of that novel, the company in question struck it down within 24 hours. Not quite sure if they were being overzealous (I hadn't uploaded their film after all) or not but naturally I didn't argue. I can't see how they'd object to this one - which is a tale of wizards and witches - but I'm not taking any chances...
