JUST - Live on Stage

Adapted by Robin Goldsworthy from the Just book series, written by Andy Griffiths and illustrated by Terry Denton

Andy Griffiths’ universally celebrated book series will finally land on stage in a hysterical production. Vividly and hilariously bringing the crazy, annoying, silly stories to life with everything from invisibility pills and mudmen, vomiting dogs and death-defying balloon rides! It won’t be for the faint-farted… we meant faint-hearted!

This unmissable show is a love letter to the powers of imagination.

14 July 10am & 12.30pm
15 July 10am (relaxed performance) & 12.30pm

Tickets: $29. Ages 7+

Hiccup

By Jude Henshall and Ellen Steele

It’s a perfect, balmy night in the outback. A sleep-deprived camper, a cheeky quokka and an emu with a penchant for creating wild inventions, awake to discover that a koala has come down with a stubborn and ear-shatteringly loud case of the hiccups.

Embark on an epic journey through the night as they frantically eat, sing and invent their way towards a cure before the sun comes up.

Windmill, the globally recognised masters of creating original theatre for young people, bring us a hilarious rocking musical extravaganza about working together, finding friendship and how to, once and for all, cure the hiccups.

Wed 19 Jul, 10am & 12.30pm
Tickets: $29. Ages 4+
