Workshop performance where an isolated little girl searches for her place in the world with her imaginary friend, a raucous crocodile.
A mother and daughter have argued–the girl has dirtied her church clothes and is sent to her room. While the girl sits on the floor reading a book she notices her friends playing outside the window. The girl pretends to play along with them, but when she goes to get tea to share they are gone. Then the girl plays tea-time with her crocodile puppet, but gets angry and throws him off stage. Then she plays dress-up in front of a mirror with her mother’s old clothes, but gets angry, pulls off the clothes, and is about to smash the mirror when a life-size crocodile appears chewing on a human leg. The crocodile tells a story about trying to play outside with the girl’s friends but they are afraid of him. When the girl points to the leg the crocodile is chewing, he bursts into tears. The girl plays dress-up with the crocodile and they are friends again. Suddenly there is loud knocking at the door–the mother has come back to let the girl know it is time for church.
