"It's a cold rainy night and a storm is outside,
Rain beats on the window by Lily's bedside.
She's scared of the dark so she shuts her eyes tight,
She hates nothing more than the dead of the night.
Tap tap tap... Comes the noise from the hallway..."
Will Lily conquer her fears? Will she conquer her fright? Will she conquer the ghouls in dead of the night?

The story follows Lily, a young girl whose wild imagination conjures up fantastical monsters from the strange noises she hears in the middle of the night. Faceplant Theatres adaptation brings to life McBain's spooky and heartfelt story through original songs, puppetry, and a dash of silliness.

From the creators of One Duck Down (‘A perfect show for kids’ ★★★★★ Families Edinburgh) with music by Cat Gisby (Elle & the Pocket Belles), this adaptation of Arthur McBain's book is full of spooks, songs, silliness, and most of all - monsters!

McBain's book has sold internationally in Australia, Korea, Turkey, and is a core title in Waterstones Childrens' Books Range here in the UK.

Faceplant Theatre is a family theatre company whose debut production One Duck Down won the Family Show of the Year 2018 award at that year’s VAULT Festival. It has since toured to venues including the Lyric Hammersmith, Pleasance Courtyard, New Wimbledon Theatre, Aylesbury Waterside, Greenwich Theatre, Turbine Theatre, GLive, Wardrobe Theatre, Canada Water Theatre, Streatham Space Project, and many more including schools and community venues.
