The Man from Snowy River

A re-imagining of the classic poem by Banjo Paterson

Do you dream of a great adventure? Of thundering down a mountainside on a wild brumby? Could you be the hero of the hour? Do you hear the call of the bush…or just the sound of the loudspeaker.

…clean up in aisle 8, clean up in aisle 8, please…

Shane spends his days working in Patterson’s Supermarket, mopping up the spills, keeping an eye on the freezer section and making sure the trolleys don’t all roll away. But he dreams of a life of adventure. One day his big chance arrives – in the form of a talking bull, a snowy white mare and the promise of the ride of his life.

This is The Man from Snowy River as you’ve never imagined it with all the thrills of Banjo Patterson’s classic poem and a big meat-pie sized slice of silliness. The story of one boy finding his place in the world is brought right up to date with our own special brand of magical puppetry, shadow play and object theatre.

Adventure is waiting down the next aisle…
