This is a quirky play for children and their grown ups.

Bobby Rogers lives in a town where everyone has very normal lives.  But Bobby has noticed that a child who was there one minute, is gone the next. Disappeared…

Told in an operatic, gothic style, My Mother Told Me Not To Stare presents children with the rules that must absolutely not be broken… and then absolutely breaks them!
