Catherine Wheels: Lightning Ridge

Sat 07 Feb at 2:00pm Corn Exchange, Haddington Children's theatre in Haddington

Lightning Ridge is about the possibility of dreams, a community coming together, the preciousness of hope and how, sometimes, we have to believe in the impossible. For ages 8 plus.

Event Description

12-year-old Ashmol lives in the Australian outback with his mum, dad and little sister Kellyanne and her two invisible friends Pobby and Dingan.
When Pobby and Dingan disappear, Ashmol is happy that the imaginary friends are out of his life, but Kellyanne becomes sicker and sicker. Finally, Ashmol decides that there is only one thing to do; he must find Pobby and Dingan.

Winner of two CATS awards:
Best Performance for Young Children and Young People and
Outstanding Performance (Gill Robertson).
