JUL–AUG

This play is an epic, funny, madcap adaptation of the classic novel by Jules Verne.

Set in 1872, the story opens with a bank robbery, and then follows Phileas Fogg and his newly

acquired valet, Mr Passepartout on their adventure as they attempt to travel the world in 80 days, all the while being pursued by Scotland Yard.

“It’s such a healthy dose of Monty Python nonsense that keeps the adults tickled while

the slapstick is laid on thick for the children and... it’s a merrily entertaining trip for all on board.”

MR SNOT BOTTOMTHURSDAY 4 OCTOBER 10AM

CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS


SEP–OCT

Based on the worldwide sensation and bestselling book series, this raucously funny comedy for the entire family tells the story of two overly

imaginative pranksters named George and Harold, who hypnotize their principal into thinking he’s a ridiculously enthusiastic, incredibly dimwitted

superhero named Captain Underpants.

Mr. Snot Bottom is like a cross between Mr. Bean, Shrek and Peter Combe. Brimming with all the gooey, slimy, yucky topics that kids love, Mr. Snot Bottom is a master-class in all things silly and disgusting, filled to the brim with tasteless tunes and horrible harmonies.
