Inside a travelling theatre tent, a storyteller shares a timeless tale…Cheeseboy’s home planet has been reduced to a bubbling fondue. Where are his parents? How did he become marooned on earth? Gypsies have given him a home – of sorts – but Cheeseboy is tugged this way and that by tides of strange longings and stranger powers.
The storytelling of one of South Australia’s finest actors, Stephen Sheehan, is enhanced by ingeniously simple lights, mirrors and high-tech marvels. Set to lush original music by Quincy Grant, The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy poses questions that resonate for its young audiences.
