Grug

Based on the picture book by Ted Prior

Grug began his life as the top of a Burrawang tree that fell to the ground. Resembling a small, striped haystack with feet and a nose, Grug is fascinated by the world around him and solves everyday problems creatively and without fuss.

Parcels are delivered, each one bringing a new element into the unfolding story. The hillside set transforms into Grug's home, his garden, even under the sea. When snails eat his cabbages, Grug plants more cabbages so there will be enough for both him and the snails. When dancing instructions are too difficult to understand, he invents his own dance and calls it 'The Grug.' Ted Prior's hugely popular character is brought to life in this magical stage production for very young theatre lovers.
