Pea Green Boat
Event Information
Description
"The Owl’s diary. Day forty-seven. The Cat has eaten all the honey. Surely we will die here.”
Stewart Lee’s adaptation of Edward Lear’s famous The Owl and The Pussycat is presented in Australia for the first time. Waking in a pea-green boat, with an unfamiliar feline as its sole compatriot, an Owl keeps a journal to pass the time. Who placed it in this circumstance? What possible destination is in mind?
This performance takes place entirely in a boat, on the water. This means you, an audience member, are in the boat as well. Given the intimate, boutique nature of this work, we will contact you after your tickets are purchased to confirm your attendance.
Dates: 12 – 25 November (excluding Mondays) at 7pm, 8pm, 9pm. Capacity of 3 audience members per session.
Location: The exact meeting point and other important details will be emailed to you after your tickets are purchased - but it will be in the Inner West and a short walk from Bus and Light Rail stops. Parking is available.
With Hannah Cox and Alexander Richmond
Written by Stewart Lee
Directed by Jim Fishwick
Produced by Kenny Murphy
Please note: While the original Owl and The Pussycat is a great poem for children, this show is a darker adaptation, and is really not suitable for children.
