Stinky Flowers and the Bad Banana is a collection of original fairy-tales for all ages.  Sinclair is 9 years old.  When he’s upset, he turns to his imaginary friend, Russell.  When Sinclair’s brother and sister see Russell in the attic with their own eyes, they begin a fantastic journey of discovery through their grandfather’s stories.  They’ll need each other as they fend off ravenous savages, overthrow evil kings, and battle warring monkeys.  Based on the hit one-man show that NYTheatre.com called “Utterly adorable and entrancing!”  “Croft Vaughn has constructed an endearing and enchanting meander through the excitable mind of one exceptional child.”  “Beautiful, eloquent and touching stories [told] with subtlety, sensitivity, and grace.”
