The Worm 2023

When a giant bird beak breaks through the ceiling and snatches his mother away, a little worm must go on an epic adventure to save her.

However, the journey to the surface is riddled with danger. It takes the little worm through a dark subterranean world, full of empty streets and flea-bitten bars. He must dodge the sharp spade of the gardener, outsmart poisonous spiders and battle the ruler of the underworld, The Blind Rat and her henchman Snail.

Featuring original music performed live by Carnivorous Plant Society and extraordinary design by Andrew Foster, Elizabeth Whiting and Rachel Marlow, acclaimed theatre company Nightsong (Mr Red Light, Te Pō) brings their trademark visual style to this delightfully surreal and anarchically absurd show that will entertain and enthral young and old alike. For adults aged seven and older.

School holiday performances from 11-22nd April at 10am and 2pm at the Herald Theatre, Aotea Centre.
