A Cabaret So Sickly, It’s Sweet…

 

A lyrical, satirical cabaret, which may make you lose your head entirely!

​

Meet our dysfunctional musical troupe of four, who have travelled to our stage via a time machine. They’re on a mission to teach today’s rascally kids a thing or two about the importance of being well-behaved and are armed with Hilaire Belloc’s poems about wayward children and the outlandish fates that befall them.

​

Created for audiences aged 8+, Cautionary Tales for Children is proof that learning lessons about good behaviour can be rather absurd and utterly hilarious!

​

Cautionary Tales for Children premiered at the Fairfax Studio, Arts Centre Melbourne in 2012.

​

It was re-mounted in 2016 in a new version starring Virginia Gaye and directed by Jolyon James, enjoying a sold-out season at the Sydney Opera House.
