When little Conrad Van der Bosch claims he has an invisible tiger
called Sigmund hiding on his wardrobe, his child-psychologist father
sees the ‘lie’ as a deliberate act of juvenile defiance. Doctor
Van der Bosch is concerned that the boy is mentally maladjusted and in
an attempt to terrify Conrad into admitting that there never was an
invisible tiger, creates the terrifying figure of Mister Holgado, a
child-eating monster who is apparently hiding inside Conrad’s
wardrobe, waiting to consume the little boy. This triggers a battle
for supremacy, as Conrad and his father struggle to manipulate the
myth of Holgado. In desperation, as the Doctor fails to curtail his
son’s imagination, he realises he has no choice but to become the
child-eating Holgado. Shortlisted for the Writers' Guild Award for
Theatre Play for Young People 2013.
