The Secret of the Snotty Gobbles: A Fairy Story (2006)

Written and Directed by Jenny de Reuck

Designed by Lindsay Lloyd

  Strange things are happening in the forests around Perth. The banksia candles have dimmed and the Bush Fairies that light them, Pingle, Mallee and Mouse-Ears, are very worried. Could the mischievous Snottygobbles be behind it? Or is there an even darker force responsible for the changes in the forest? As the magic fades and the candles go out, the Bush Fairies and their friends, the Gumnut Elves and Insects, face the fact that they need to take action before it’s too late!

 Join Pingle and her friends as they confront the naughty Snottygobbles and fly with them across the sky on their dangerous quest to discover what’s making the magic die. Far away, across the Ocean, go with them to the Court of the King and Queen of the Fairies where they will battle the evil forces of the Goblin Tribe. Help Pingle and her friends to defeat the Evil Ones and to restore magic to the Fairy Kingdom so that once again the banksia candles can light the forests of Western Australia.

This year’s production from Murdoch University is suitable for primary school children in Years 1-5 and, with its focus on the topical issue of bullying, promises to educate as well as entertain young audiences. Children will once again be presented with a colourful set, inventive costumes, appealing characters and lively script and original music, a hallmark of our shows, will enhance the complete theatrical experience.

I had three favourite parts of the show. The first one was when the Princess Titania was getting ready for her party. The second one was when the baby Snottygobble was juggling tissues. The third one was when the Snottygobbles were marching and saying stuff.
