'The Blue Crystal' is a sci-fi adventure set 1000 years in the future, with a simple plot, fast-moving script and a clear message about the importance of sharing scarce resources.   The show is action-packed and full of humour - especially if the main character is hammed up as a superhero!

Following the depletion of Earth's natural resources, the planet's systems depend upon a key component: the Blue Crystal. When this crystal is stolen by the Zarcons (a warrior race from a distant and dying planet), the Earth people look to Captain Tor to regain the crystal and save the human race from extinction!  Along with an eccentric robot and four amusing clones, Captain Tor fights the aliens until he is confronted by the Zarcon princess - and a dilemma!  Can they work together to save both of their planets?

"The 'Blue Crystal' is the first show of yours I've produced, and I've enjoyed putting it on more than any other production I've ever done at any school! The songs are catchy, the references are up to date, and the pupils really enjoyed the whole show."
