The delightful words and pictures of award-winning Wellington author Ruth Paul (Lion Guards the Cake, Stomp, Anahera, I Am Jellyfish) have thrilled young readers for many years. Now all the fun is coming to the stage in a brand- new play for children.
With your HELP! Ruth and favourite characters LION, JELLYFISH, T-REX and KIWI will join forces against the MISH-MASH MONSTER to stop it eating their stories!
Romping through the April school holidays, these fun-loving characters sing songs by Ruth Paul and Charlotte Yates, with costumes by WoW veteran Fifi Colston and stage direction by Jacqueline Coats (The Adventures of Tahi & Kowhai, Party Pigs!) in a celebration of creativity, imagination and collaboration.
