Possum Magic
The magical stage adaptation if the beloved Australian story is back to celebrate its 40 th birthday!
Mem Fox and Julie Viva's beloved picture book Possum Magic has enchanted children for decades and Monkey Boo Theatre Company brings paper and ink to life on stage once again!
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 its cracked up to be, and Hush longs to see herself again.
On 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 food that makes Hush visible again.
Using a clever palette of live action, stage magic, an original soundscape, elements of puppetry and projected animation, the team have translated the whimsical world of the book to a live experience.
For 3-8 years and their families.
Watch this wonderful book come to life at the Capitol Theatre Tuesday 10 October at 6:00pm.
