Penny, Peter and Paul follow two of the green people down into a tunnel under their playhouse and are eventually captured by Ogs and rescued by Patsy, Pamela and Cheshire the dog in a series of escapades careening through that make-believe world. Penny, Pamela, Patsy, Peter and Paul - known as Pollywog (this opera positively percolates with perky, profound alliteration) are children who delight in playing pretend. Their world is one of make-believe and role playing, drawn from objects and books they have “borrowed” from children of the world above. The green people of Og live underground and have only one word, “Og”, in their vocabulary.
