Where the Wild Things Are
Presented by Noelle Greenwood & Adam O'Sullivan (Meanjin/Brisbane, Australia)

Where The Wild Things Are explores a fantastical world in which creatures of all shapes and sizes must battle unforeseen forces to achieve their desires. Step into a nostalgic world of brutish beasts, curious critters, fantastical faery folk, mythical monsters, savage spirits and wiry wildlings as experienced improvisers use audience suggestions to weave a world worthy of wonder.
With fish out of water scenarios we’ll see how monsters might deal with the modern world and see the hilarious result of these larger than life characters as they are thrust into mundanely ordinary situations.
