A comedy musical based (loosely!) on Aesop's Fable. A laugh a minute romp by Aotearoa's busiest children's theatre company... for kids and their adults!
Please note that the daytime shows will be completely family friendly both in terms of the venue and the show. For the one Friday evening show, we will have the bar open and especially encourage adults without kids to come to that Friday evening performance! Understood? Good.
Meet Danny Boy. The spoilt, swaggering, supercilious offspring of super-celebrities who saunters through life without a care in the world.
Get caught sleeping off a night on the porridge in a bear’s bed? Daddy will take care of it. Nabbed red handed with Red Riding Hood’s basket of goodies? Mummy will have a word. ‘Accidentally’ dumped Humpty Dumpty off a wall? No problem with famous folks.
Until now. When Danny takes things one step too far not even his family name can get them out of 2025 hours of community service as a shepherd!
Twenty four hours a day stuck high on a hill with nothing but stupid sheep for company. Rain, wind, mud, dags… each day drags with more dungy dags until finally Danny can’t take it anymore. He needs to find a way to have some fun and fool with the fools who dared sentence them to shepherding.
And what better way than by crying, “Wolf! Wolf!” – It fools them every time! Up they come running all huff-puffed and perturbed. That’ll teach ‘em.
But what if a real wolf is watching and waiting to teach Danny a lesson of his own?
Featuring more songs about sheep than ever before, this hilarious and interactive adaptation of Aesop’s classic fable will have your kids (and their adults) laughing and thinking about the value of honesty, humility, and the perils of pulling the wool over other people's eyes.
Written by Gregory Cooper. For ages 5-12 and their adults.
