Mr Freezy 2009 single work drama children's 'The power of steel. The soul of a scoop. The heart of a hero.

An ice-cream van springs to life as everything in it transforms to tell a wild and epic story!

Scoopy is an ice-cream scoop who can't stand the brain freezes that for him are an occupational hazard. But things are about to get rather more exciting.

When his home comes under threat, Scoopy has no choice but to embark on a quest to distant, dangerous lands, where he will discover a world of robo-chickens, milkshake speedway racers and Godzilla-like food processors!

With all the characters created out of real food, utensils and packaging, Mr Freezy blends incredible puppetry with an extraordinary set design and original music. Crafted to delight and excite young audiences, Mr Freezy is a fun and imaginative play that explores ideas of bravery, loss and belonging.'
