The Farm at the End of the Road, 2010 National Tour
Featuring the beautiful puppets of artist Sue Hill, including sheep-on-the run Duchess, Henrietta the escapee chook and her free-range mate Henry, this production is an imaginative journey for 2-7 year olds.
Returning after a sell-out tour in 2005 this play has won rave reviews from educators for its score, skilful acting and catchy lyrics from 2009 NZ Post Mansfield Prize winner Jenny Pattrick.
The Farm at the End of the Road is especially relevant to Values and Key Competencies and the learning areas of Arts, Science, Social Studies and Health & Physical education with strong links to Te Whariki.
Written by Peter Wilson
Music by Laughton Pattrick
