Can you find the green sheep?
 

We know there’s the up sheep and the down sheep, the band sheep and the clown sheep, the sun sheep and the rain sheep, but there’s still one question on everybody’s lips: where is the green sheep? 

Mem Fox and Judy Horacek’s illustrated children’s book, Where is the Green Sheep?, has enchanted kids the world over. Now 20 years old, the book has become a right of passage for a generation of kids, selling over 2.5 million copies. For Monkey Baa’s remarkable live staging, the Sydney-based company worked directly with Horacek, bringing her beloved illustrations to life using a mixture of live puppetry and on-screen animations. 

Sheep come shooting out of cannons, whizz down slides and get up to all manner of hijinks as the audience tracks down the elusive green sheep. Using their impeccable timing and physicality, Monkey Baa’s cast reintroduce parents and kids to the boisterous flock of sheep, a chance to experience Fox and Horacek’s colour-filled world in a way they’ve never seen before.

Please note, there will be an optional 10 min post-show Q&A.
