CHILD’S PLAY – 2019 MELBOURNE FRINGE FESTIVAL SEASON


  • The MC Showroom 48 Clifton Street Prahran, VIC, 3181 Australia (map)

Think ‘Women who Run with the Wolves’ meets ‘Harry Potter’ and you’re getting close.


A one-woman show brings to life two classic fables and completely shape-shifts them into bigger, hairier and wilder versions truly fit for the adult, but without leaving behind our inner child.

This endearing adventure draws together epic archetypal characters to make you laugh, cry, and feel truly connected to the self, held warmly in the over-sized and slightly pointed claws of a big, black wolf.

See physical theatre and animal work like you’ve never seen before in a new Australia play that is fabulously alive and ambitious. Audiences will be engaged from Jem’s first flick of tail to the cracking through of a much larger, more ferocious beast in the play’s final moments.

With threads of comedy and clowning woven throughout, this adventure will “lead you into the dark forest of Grimm, make you face your fears, and then change you forever.” — Steve Davis, Smart Arts, ABC Adelaide.
