Youth Theatre and Rhyming Plays (And one Spooner play!)
Rhyming plays by Murphy include 'Rhyming Goldilocks,' 'Hansel and Gretel,' 'Three Little Pigs,' and 'The Pied Piper.' His proudest achievement in the area of youth theatre, however, is 'Cagic Mup,' a spectacular play spiced with sparkling Spoonerisms!
