DAVID WALLIAMS’ MR STINK COMES TO LIFE ON STAGE
David Walliams’ award-winning book, Mr Stink, will be brought to life on stage at the Dubbo Regional Theatre this May.
The charming original Australian adaption for children aged six to 12 and their adults, will be shown on Wednesday 31 May as part of the Theatre’s 2023 Dare to Be Different Season program.
"Mr Stink stank. He also stunk. And if it was correct English to say he stinked, then he stinked as well…”
The show all starts when Chloe, just about the loneliest girl in the world, makes friends with Mr Stink, the local tramp. Sure he smells a bit, but he’s the only person who’s ever been nice to her. So, when Mr Stink needs a place to stay, Chloe decides to hide him in the garden shed.
Now Chloe's got to make sure no one finds out her secret, but she’s about to learn that some secrets have a way of leading to disaster. Speaking of secrets, there just might be more to Mr Stink than meets the eye… or the nose.
The team behind The Midnight Gang, The Gruffalo and The 13-, 26-, 52-, 78- and 91-Storey Treehouses return with this touching, twisted and hilarious and very smelly tale … so make sure to hold on to your nose!
Critics and audiences alike raved about the production with The Daily Telegraph reporting “boisterous fun…the young audience…thoroughly enjoy[ed] this quality production.”
Manager of Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre, Linda Christof said the two school shows, held during the day, sold out quickly.
“School students are travelling from as far as Bourke 370 kms away and Carinda 262 kms to see this show.
“This demonstrates that Dubbo Regional Theatre lives up to its name - it unquestionably caters for audiences in regional and remote areas as well as within the local government footprint.”
This heart-warming and comical adaptation will enthral and amuse audiences of all ages.
Tickets are on sale for the 6pm performance and can be booked on-line drtcc.com.au, by visiting the Box Office or calling (02) 6801 4378.
