STORM BOY
By Colin Thiele
Adapted for the stage by Tom Holloway
Colin Thiele's Storm Boy has to be one of Australia's
best loved stories for young people.
A boy's last childhood summer before beginning the long
trek to adulthood is spent with his reclusive dad Hideaway Tom
in the wild freedom of South Australia's Coorong. Storm Boy roams
the savage landscape, navigating the waters and searching for
debris and wildlife. Along the way he picks up some unlikely
friends including the enigmatic Fingerbone Bill and a family of
orphaned pelicans, including his favourite,
Mr Percival.
The book and the film both reached huge audiences, and we are
now thrilled to partner with Perth's Barking Gecko Theatre Company
to bring this moving tale to the stage.
Whether you are returning to the story as an adult, or
introducing it to a new generation, we look forward to sharing with
you afresh the wonder, sadness and hope of this
homegrown classic.
