Babes in the Wood (2006)

By Tom Wright

16 November 2006 – 03 December 2006 Merlyn Theatre

Malthouse Theatre,

Theatre Musical Tour Remount

Once upon a time, two children have wandered too far from home. They meet a conga-line of colonial creatures and are caught in a hysterical and boorish collection of tales of caution and alarm. As the babes are lured further into the happily ever yonder of our defiled nation, nightmares awaken - but the ones you merrily enjoy.

Toured to Sydney Opera House, 6-23 December.
