Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge by Spare Parts Puppet Theatre
Adapted from the book by Mem Fox & Julie Vivas
Set in the old people’s home next door to where Wilfrid lives, this fun and heart-warming story follows his affectionate bond with his favourite old person, the 96-year-old Miss Nancy.
A unique and interactive performance, this adaptation takes the opportunity to recruit seniors and grandparents to become part of the cast, creating a show that children will cherish by featuring their own family members on stage.
Exploring the power of memories as the threads that connect us to each other, this story is a true celebration of intergenerational friendship that will bring laughter, inspire joy and leave ripples of connectedness in the audience long after the performance.
