Judy Swinburn

There’s been a train crash. Passengers reel across the stage in contorted slow motion. Finally they freeze into a silent tableau, a sea of sprawling arms and legs.

As life burgeons in the waters, our hero, Skyheart, begins to explore his surroundings and wonder what lies beyond.

Every night thousands of robots recharge their batteries. This is the story of six of them and their dreams of liberty, equality, independence and holidays.

A story of a simple town, Strathjarr, famous for its jams, jellies and boillings, being threatened by the pursuit of profit.

The story follows the dastardly theft of colour from the world and the gallant efforts of our hero and his dog to bring it back and relieve the gloom.
