Summary
“We need a leader, a captain, a queen,
With boundless wisdom, and sight that’s keen.”
A flock of birds set out on an epic quest to solve a tricky problem: who will be their new leader? On the mission? A very bossy hawk, a lovelorn nightingale, and an extremely cheeky robin. What could possibly go wrong? Scraww! is told by 3 live performers through song, physical theatre and puppetry. Audiences take flight with our flock of performers, wrapped in 360-degree sound from individual noise-cancelling headphones. A fantastical, all-ages music theatre adventure about looking for a leader and finding your own strength.
Run Time: 55 minutes
