Tim Winton’s The Bugalugs Bum Thief
Adapted by Sandra Eldridge, Tim McGarry and Eva Di Cesare

Skeeta Anderson and the whole town of Bugalugs wake up one morning to find that their bums are gone. They can’t sit, they can’t keep their pants up, and they can barely stand. There’s just a big hollow where a bum should be! 

Join Skeeta Anderson, Mick Misery and Billy Marbles on an adventure to catch the thief and get their bums back! 

Who is the Bugalugs bum thief? The Bugalugs Bum Thief takes audiences on a whimsical journey through the imaginative world created by Australian author and National Treasure, Tim Winton. This literacy-based play with music, vividly brings to life the colourful characters and quirky adventures from Winton's beloved book.

Recommended for  4-10 year olds. The perfect school excursion, tell your teachers! Education packs available.

“The Bugalugs Bum Thief is a must-see production that perfectly blends humour, heart, and creativity. It’s a bum-ping good time that leaves the audience laughing, cheering, and maybe even dancing in their seats.” –
