The Owl and The Pussycat

Glen Street Theatre and Little Match Productions present The Owl and The Pussycat, a new opera based on Edward Lear’s much-loved poem from the 14th to 17th July. Adventure calls and love conquers all in this charming musical journey. Join the Owl and the Pussycat as they navigate the sea in a pea-green boat for a year and a day on their way to fair Bong-tree Bay.

Composed by Lisa Cheney (co-founder, Making Waves), with libretto and book by Brisbane-based playwright and actor Kathryn Marquet, this eccentric opera is bound to whisk audiences away with an irresistible blend of romance and nonsense.
