Badjelly The Witch: Adapted By Alannah O’Sullivan, From The Book By Spike Milligan

Starring: Adriana Calabrese, Amalia Calder, Dryw McArthur, Haydn Carter
Directed By Ditas Yap

Who has Lucy the cow? What are Tim and Rose going to do? Do Appletrees become policemen? Badjelly the Witch has all these answers and more in this wonderful, chaotic, classic tale of silliness and fun. Packed with quirky characters, big and small, crazy coincidences and we can't forget Badjelly herself. Woven with KidzStuff's awesome tradition of audience interaction, Badjelly is just what you need to stretch those legs and laughing muscles these school holidays.

So get out your broomsticks and come and join Tim and Rose on their quest to find Lucy the cow!
