Written by Raymond Briggs, Fungus the Bogeyman’s job is to venture “up top” above Bogeydom to scare drycleaners, but when one adventure backfires, the Bogeypeople’s worst nightmare becomes a reality, a drycleaner has discovered their existence! Evergreen tale of slime, bogeys, magic and mayhem for all the family. (60 mins, 6 on stage, 9 on the road.)
