FOX

By Margaret Wild & Ron Brooks
Presented by Monkey Baa in association with Siren Theatre Co.
Combining a haunting score and breathtaking physicality, this production will see the heart soar as friendship triumphs.
Magpie is injured in a bushfire but she discovers that riding atop her friend, oneeyed Dog, as he runs through the bush, feels almost the same as flying. ‘FLY, DOG, FLY! I will be your missing eye and you will be my wings.’
Then fox arrives and tempts Magpie with an even faster ride.
Desire, loyalty and friendship become confused and after an exhilarating ride, Fox dumps Magpie far out in the desert. Abandoned and alone Magpie begins the long journey home.
In collaboration with Director Kate Gaul and Composer Daryl Wallis, Monkey Baa has created a theatrically inventive adaptation of this timeless classic by Margaret Wild and Ron Brooks.
An unforgettable experience that is as rich for adults as it is for young people. Suitable for 8 years and up.
DIRECTED BY Kate Gaul
COMPOSER Daryl Wallis
