Its adults are useless. Time for the kids to save the day. Same old story, right? When the island of Proud Circle springs a leak, it’s up to one girl to look beyond its edges and discover the maybes and what-ifs that are its only hope. From the mind of Finegan Kruckemeyer, Australia’s most accomplished children’s playwright, comes a tale of wonder and invention that is brought to life in unexpected ways. Step inside a picture book as cartoonist Oslo Davis draws the story live while Sarah Ward aka Yana Alana reads it to you. All of this takes place amidst a paper set that is cut, ripped, patched and manipulated live to create a world of play. This project is assisted by the Australian Government’s Major Festivals Initiative in association with the Confederation of Australian International Arts Festivals Inc., Melbourne Festival, Darwin Festival, Brisbane Festival, Sydney Festival and Ten Days on the Island. #melbfest IMAGE | Peter Mathew Drawings by Tom O’Hern THU 6PM / FRI — SUN 2PM & 6PM Director SAM ROUTLEDGE Writer FINEGAN KRUCKEMEYER // 31
