On the Trail of the One Blue Sock is a simple tale of in the form of a poem with lively, fun songs added to spice up the performance. Every day objects (a boxing glove, a shower, a clotheshorse, a microwave, an iron and a water timer etc) become colourful characters as our hero searches through the house for a single blue sock that has gone missing.

In the search for the one blue sock we find that 'life is much better being a pair' and 'things are always where you put them'. This is surely good advice for everyone. Additionally just 'being friends is all we ever need' is another poetical message, which would stand anyone in good stead. Everyone can join in the stampede and the search with their friends for new friends.

On the trail of the One Blue Sock finds different characters helping each other and being successful in their collective search. The chorus should perform alongside the action adding their voices to the plot and sharing the adventure.

Gawen Robinson

Gawen has written music for as long as he can care to recall (having composed around 300 songs before he was 14 on an old acoustic guitar given to him by his mother). Having experienced the rock music world for a number of years playing in several semi-successful bands he decided to concentrate on musical theatre (both acting and composing). His collaboration with lyricist Stephen Robertson has, over a number of years, produced The Old Curiosity Shop and Notre Dame, both being large scale, sung through musicals (at present they are reworking the former). Gawen has also composed several, small scale children's book musicals based around historical topics covered in primary schools. He is looking forward to starting on a major new work sometime soon.

Customer Reviews

Great tunes and a very interesting poetical presentation.

Great tunes and a very interesting poetical presentation. The kids were soon singing along to the musical ideas. Anything that encourages friendship and putting things away at the same time can't be bad! Good luck.
