AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The play follows the adventures of four young children who find that their homemade spaceship actually takes them to Venus. There they meet the all powerful ruler of Venus, The Grug—and learn of his plans to conquer earth. The play with plenty of action, humour and up to the minute songs touches, in a light hearted vein, on many issues confronting modern society.'
