A Monkey Baa Theatre Company production
POSSUM
MAGIC
Based on the book by Mem Fox and Julie Vivas
Adapted by Eva Di
Cesare and Sandra Eldridge. Directed by Sandra Eldridge
Mem Fox and
Julie Vivas’ beloved picture book Possum Magic has enchanted
children for decades and Monkey Baa Theatre Company brings the paper and
ink to life on stage once again!
Using a clever, nuanced palette of
live action, stage magic, an original soundscape, elements of puppetry and
projected animation, Monkey Baa’s award-winning creative team have
translated the whimsical world of the book to a live experience for
audiences 3–8 years (and their families).
Grandma Poss loves
making magic. She makes wombats blue and kookaburras pink. She makes
dingoes smile and emus shrink. But one day, when danger arrives in the
form of a snake, Grandma uses her most magical spell to make Hush
invisible. Hush has many wonderful adventures. But being invisible isn’t
all it’s cracked up to be, and Hush longs to see herself again. One
problem. Grandma Poss can’t find the spell to make Hush visible again. And
then she remembers... this particular magic requires something more,
something special, something to do with food... people food. Possum
Magic takes us on a whimsical journey to cities around Australia to
find the food that makes Hush visible again.
