Emily Brown and The Thing comes to Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe
The story follows Emily Brown and her best friend and sidekick, Stanley the rabbit, as they attempt to find the Thing’s cuddly. From the Dark and Scary Wood, the Whirling Wastes, to the Whiny Witches cabin – with fun and laughter and a few mildly scary bits, they finally find the Thing’s cuddly. “There is so much movement and colour in this production,” says Alice, “and the stage transformation is amazing – it really brings it to life for the audience.”
Alice says that children love the puppets in the show and the original music. Parents enjoy how relatable it is for children who don’t want to go to sleep. “This really is a fantastic family show,” says Alice. “And the message for girls about being courageous and strong is important.” That message, she believes, is important for everyone. “It really is a message of friendship and adventure and to be brave and not scared about going to sleep.” And the best way to get to sleep is to think of nice things. “Emily totally gets it about the Thing having lost his cuddly,” says Alice. “She knows that she’d be devastated if she lost her best friend, Stanley.” Alice will be bringing along her pal, Milky Moo Cow. He’ll be waiting in her dressing room for her after the performance.
Emily Brown and the Thing is put on by Tall Stories. The company is internationally recognized for its exceptional children’s storytelling. Emily Brown has two shows on Saturday, February 16.
