Till he discovers that things don't necessarily have to be as bad as they first appear. More precisely, they don't have to be what they appear at all!</p> <p>A family show from Australia, kooky antics, absurd gadgets, tomfoolery and a high energy performance are balanced with themes of loneliness, thinking outside the box and friendship. This is a joyous and heart-warming story of finding one's place.</p> <hr /><p><strong>What the reviewers have said:</strong></p> <p><em>"This feel-good and inventive piece of magical theatre will inspire many a budding creative mind, which bodes well for our future."
