The Incredible Vanishing
Written by Denise Coffey / Directed by Pat Knight
“The Incredible Vanishing” by Denise Coffey is based on the poem “Goblin Market” by Christina Rossetti. It tells the story of a clash between two worlds – the upper world of humans vs the underworld of the Marsh Goblins ruled by Queen Marshesity.
The goblins have entered the upper world and enticed children to the underworld. Hundreds of children have vanished! Can our heroes, PC Parker, Jenny Jones and Bert Sparky rescue them from the clutches of the Marsh Goblins before it’s too late?
Will good overcome evil or will the children be lost forever?

"A thought-provoking and excellent offering from Mana Little Theatre with its latest production, "The Mother"."
Wellington District Theatre Federation
"This was a very dramatic work and the cast need to be applauded for their work. We all left the theatre slightly wrung out as the tension was wound ever more tightly until the final curtain.
Excellent."
