Remember the Spaghetti Pig-Out? The ice maiden? The kid who was raised to say "yes" for "no" and "no" for "yes"? And the brilliant theme song from Round the Twist? Paul Jennings’s unreal, unbelievable, and other words beginning with 'un~' stories have endeared him to generations of Aussie children. Now, in Stage Fright, playwright Richard Tulloch turns Jennings's stories into hilarious family entertainment.

Jennings's stories 'Lucky Lips', 'The Skeleton on the Dunny', 'Next Time Around' and 'The Copy' (remember Linda and Adnil on Round the Twist?) will be brought to life on stage by director Ali Kennedy Scott.

"I love Paul Jennings stories," says Scott. "They are so creative, quirky, full of fun and imagination. They capture you immediately with elements of drama and comedy, tragedy and farce all rolled together. Also they have a universal appeal. I think adults and children alike will enjoy Stage Fright – it’s snappy and packed with action with elements of puppetry and ballet, physical theatre, music and even a little acrobatics!

Stage Fright is ideal for ages 7-13.
