Possum Magic

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of Possum Magic as the multi award-winning team from Monkey Baa Theatre Company bring the classic Australian picture book loved by generations to life on stage again!

Grandma Poss loves making magic. She makes wombats blue and kookaburras pink. She makes dingoes smile and emus shrink. When danger arrives in the form of a snake, Grandma uses her most magical spell to make Hush invisible.

After embarking on many adventures, Hush longs to see herself again. However, Grandma Poss can’t find the spell to make Hush visible!

Featuring a clever, nuanced palette of live action, stage magic, an original soundscape, elements of puppetry and projected animation this heart-warming tale will weave its magic and take you on an enchanting journey around Australia.
