A squirt gun would never be mistaken for a real gun, right? Dive into the thought-provoking world of Water. Gun. Argument and challenge what we choose to believe. A thought provoking and powerful piece in a docu-theatre style.

The Magic Diary of Mozambique

The Magic Diary of Mozambique

by Chris Stiles

Darla feels invisible and that nothing goes her way. She wishes she had a better life. When her globetrotting sister gives her a diary, Darla thinks it's just another dumb present. Then, bizarre things start happening and suddenly EVERYTHING'S going Darla's way.

The diary, she discovers, gives her everything she wishes for: good grades, popular friends, lavish gifts from her parents… She's the top dog!

But there are consequences to being on top. Killer roses, an out-of-control golf game and a raccoon invasion send Darla into a tizzy. How will she make it right? Be careful what you wish for.
