Stone Soup

A great play for 8 to 12 year-olds to act about friendship and team work

Adapted from the classic folk tale. In Ecclesiastes chapter four we are reminded of a man who is all alone and who is so busy with his life that he has no time for others. Is he content with his life? No he is not!

A few verses later we read that two people are better than one because they can support each other. This is then contrasted with the lonely man who, when he falls down, has no one to help him up!

In this adaptation of the classic folk story “Stone Soup” we have characters who share these qualities. The two Tramps have each other and together do a miraculous work of creating soup from a stone. The Old Grouch of the story is all alone with no one to help when he falls. By the end of the story our Old Grouch has made a bunch of new friends and he knows he is a richer person for their friendship.
