Jacqueline Wilson's hugely popular book, DOUBLE ACT, about how twins Ruby and Garnet cope with being identical but different, has been adapted for the stage by hugely experienced children's theatre director, Vicky Ireland. Playing to sell-out houses in the Polka Children's Theatre and then on tour across the UK, this has been seen and loved by thousands of children. The book was also adapted as a highly rated Channel 4 TV drama in 2002. Adaptable for use by casts with as few as 6 or as many as 30 members and offering staging opportunities from the simplest to the most sophisticated designs, this script will be eagerly seized upon by English and Drama teachers, youth workers, theatre groups and many others.
