Synopsis of the play
For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs... who just happened to be there too. Puffs: Or, Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic is the story of Wayne Hopkins: a regular boy who finds out he's a wizard and goes to school in England where he makes two best friends (Oliver and Megan) and has adventures. This perhaps sounds familiar. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world. But, Wayne is sorted as a Puff, he and the other Puffs simply want to learn how to be wizards and avoid attacks by evil wizards.
