Adapted by Monkey Baa’s Artistic Director Eva Di Cesare and Co-Founder Sandra Eldridge, POSSUM MAGIC is directed by Eldridge and features Sarah Greenwood, Teale Howie, Josh Virgona and Sarah Woods.
Audiences will meet Grandma Poss, who loves making magic. She makes wombats blue and kookaburra’s pink. She makes dingoes smile and emus shrink. But one day, when danger arrives in the form of a snake, Grandma uses her most magical spell to make Hush invisible. Hush has many wonderful adventures. But being invisible isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and Hush longs to see herself again. One problem. Grandma Poss can’t find the spell to make Hush visible again. Then she remembers… this magic requires something more, something special, something to do with food… people food! Join Grandma Poss and Hush as they embark on a whimsical journey to cities around Australia to find the food that makes Hush visible again.
