Albert Make Us Laugh: A Play

Meet Albert Nuttall, aged eleven. Some would say that he is backward and at first glance, you'd agree - but Albert is special. He is a poet and a visionary who, as he grows into puberty and manhood, inspires unexpected depths of emotion in other people - notably his classmate, Primrose Macaveney, whose glorious future as a musical actress fails to materialize, and the lost and lonely young schoolteacher, Janet Partington. This strange, touching and upliftng story - written to be enacted entirely by adults - is engaging and theatrically innovative, as one has come to expect from the ever-popular Jimmie Chinn, author of Straight and Narrow.
