The Koala Who Could

Based on the book by Rachel Bright & Jim Field
Directed and Co-Adapted by Emma Earle
Composed & Co-Adapted by Eamonn O’Dwyer

Based on the bestselling picture book about taking a chance

An empowering and chuckle-out-loud story about embracing change — whether we like it or not.

"In a wonderful place, at the breaking of dawn, where the breezes were soft and the sunshine was warm, a place where the creatures ran wild and played free… A Koala called Kevin clung to a tree."

Join Kevin, King of the staying-still-kings, and his friends kangaroo and wombat in an Australian Outback adventure, as they learn that "life can be great when you try something new!"

Based on the award-winning book by Rachel Bright & Jim Field published by Hachette Children’s Group, this brand-new adaptation for stage is directed by Emma Earle (Oi Frog & Friends!), with music and lyrics by Eamonn O’Dwyer (The Lion Inside).

 

"There's so much to dazzle the ear and eye that you will leave elated"

The Stage

"Full of sass, humour, and undeniable charm"

All That Dazzles

"Fabulous rhymes, I'm in love with Kevin"
