The car trip begins with an excited Danny and Lucyenjoying the city scenery and talking about all the things they do each year. Eleven year old Sally is quiet andthoughtful. It emerges that she is feeling confused about the trip away, and is unsure whether she will still be able toenjoy the “little kid” things that they do at Magic Beach every year.The family arrive and take their ritual first dive into the ocean. Lucy and Danny are immediately transported into theworld of their imagination, riding on their seahorses through the waves. Sally is saddened as she finds herself unableto get carried away in this powerful game of imagination. Lucy and Danny are worried about how things will be withoutSally in their magical games. Danny and Lucy move on to exploring the rockpools. They are joined by Toby, a holidayfriend who became a mortal enemy to Lucy after trying to prise anemones off rocks. Lucy is on her guard, andthreatens Toby with her “Karate-jitsu-kwondo” moves. After some discussion the three children decide there is enoughroom for everyone and are transported once again into the world of imagination. They float in a gigantic rock pool,witnessing the beautiful colourful fish, anemones, crabs, limpets and molluscs. Their reverie is interrupted as Lucyand Danny are called by their Mum.Danny and Lucy move to a new part of the beach where they start some serious sandcastle construction. They arejoined by Sally, who is secretly wanting to play. She satisfies herself with the serious job of bringing water to Dannyand Lucy. As the sandcastle grows into a fortress Danny and Lucy are transported into a lively seascape where theyare threatened by a ferocious dragon. Just as they think all is lost Sally rejoins their play and enters as a knight todefeat the dragon, smashing back the predator and saving her siblings from certain destruction. As their game ends,Sally allows herself to join the fun, and is happily reunited with her siblings.The action begins again the next day, after a happy dinner with holiday friends at the Surf Club.Lucy is found at the jetty fishing, and eventually snags something big .Meanwhile Danny and Sally are fishing from their tangerine boat, and being towed by something enormous. To Sally’samusement they find they have tangled their lines! Lucy joins them in the boat. They are once again transported intotheir imaginary world, a pirate ship captained by Sally.The pirate ship journeys until meeting with a huge storm, with Danny on the top of the mast, swaying wildly in fear.When the storm finally calms, Sally is jubilant at rediscovering her sense of fun and imagination.The day ends with a bonfire at the beach. The three siblings sit together and talk of the magic of their holiday, andwhat the memories mean to them when they return to their everyday lives. Danny and Lucy slowly fall asleep asimaginary smugglers appear with caskets of rum. Sally holds her siblings close, glad to be with her family, with a newunderstanding that the beach will always be a magical place for her. The story and the day end in a peaceful glow.3

The creative team and a cast of three actors came together for a week of creative development, where theteam explored the story and characters, and experimented with different ideas about how the play could bebrought to life on stage. The team showed their work to industry colleagues, who offered their feedback and suggestions. The playwright wrote a final draft in consultation with the director and producer.
