From the team that brought you Swamp Juice, this is the tale of Sam and Junior, two brothers who must flee their war torn planet and embark on an epic journey across the galaxy.
Using the contents of your cleaning closet, award-winning performer Jeff Achtem creates a shadow puppet universe from bits of rubbish. A delicious DIY event. Buckle in and tear open your imagination for this year’s new shadow puppet epic about two brothers who battle the bad guys and find strength in each other… at warp speed.

Jennifer Skylark and the Seagull’s Handbook
Sat 27 July – Sun 11 August 2013
Join us as we return to the atmospheric Electrician’s Basement at Trinity Buoy Wharf, home to last year’s sell-out family hit Balthazar’s Bazaar of the Bizarre, for an all new site-specific family show.
When an unfortunate twist of fate separates Jennifer from her guardian Uncle, she finds herself on board a giant ship destined for Australia. As her unexpected nautical adventure unfolds, her strange surroundings bring to life Jennifer’s ingenious imagination, conjuring up a variety of weird and wonderful companions to help her on her way. Storytelling, puppetry, and live music combine to form this fantastical interpretation of factual events, marking the exciting debut of new theatre company Powderkeg.
