2021 Production // 10 – 25 JULY
BUNYIPS, a big beautiful mess of a play.
Loosely based on ‘Naked Bunyip Dancing’ by Steven Herrick and adapted for stage by Callan Purcell.
6C are bursting at the seams to express themselves, but they don’t know how. Then Mr Carey came with his Yoga, sage and Shakespeare and things weren’t the same again. Watch these kids rap, dance, speak in bird language, dream their way through year 6. As they try to understand living between two houses, have their first kiss and be the biggest, most beautiful mess of a class.
