What is Alligator: The Play about?

Jono has made a very unusual purchase: an alligator. Now he must hide his scaly new pet before his mum discovers the truth. But keeping an alligator secret is not easy, especially when it is hungry, troublesome and far too large to go unnoticed. As Jono struggles to stay out of trouble, things become even more chaotic when a burglar appears. This lively, bite-sized comedy play is designed for eight speaking parts and is accessible to developing readers.
