Description When Geoffrey was director of Magpie Theatre he wanted a play about our first day at school, that indelible and irresistible moment of change when we realise there are no other worlds out there we are going to have to deal with. What emerged was The Small Poppies, a tender work, in which 6 actors play some 20 odd roles - 5 year olds, their parents and teachers.
