Description
Like his hero, Sinbad the Sailor, who undertook many perilous voyages in search of his fortune, Naz must travel half-way around the world to reach the safety of his brother in Dublin.
Naz teams up with Krysia, a young girl in similar circumstances, who helps him dodge soldiers and find safe passage over mountains, across seas and through the mire of a city slum.
A gripping tale of adventure and stories, Naz’s journey throws a spotlight on the real dangers faced by children in other parts of the world, and the lengths to which they must go to reach safety in the relative security of a country like Ireland.
For children aged 8 to 12.
County Kilkenny schools attending the play received two workshop sessions: one about visual literacy - before attending the play - and a 2nd on critical analysis, after seeing the play.
Author, local historian and former teacher Ann Murtagh developed a Teacher Resource Pack for the play, with Barnstorm.
