The Riddle of Washpool Gully at RPAC
Something is awakening in Washpool Gully…
Head to Redland Performing Arts Centre for mystery and adventure these School Holidays and find out what creature is stirring!
Far beyond the outskirts of the big city, near a tiny town that nearly everyone forgot, lay a dry creek bed of no special significance.
Once upon a time it had been called Washpool Gully. But the world had moved on from insignificant things, and no one had time for dry creek beds.
Except in Washpool Gully something was stirring. Shaken by the rumble of engines and darkening of the sky, something long asleep had decided to wake up.
Combining old-fashioned storytelling with contemporary puppetry, The Riddle of Washpool Gully is a reimagined tale of Australian mythology about the incredible creatures that might still live in the uncharted corners of our vast country.
Spark your children’s imagination with this enchanting tale that will come to life in front of their eyes.
