Holiday Island

Holiday Island

Get ready for a silly, playful, musical celebration of living in the moment — it's Mr. Bean for kids!

A clown yearns for a summer getaway, so she decides to create it herself at the ARA Darling Quarter Theatre. With nine colourful suitcases in tow, she builds an imaginary world of play, relaxation and togetherness: Holiday Island.

Like a silent film, driven by a nostalgic soundtrack, audiences are treated to an uplifting and perfectly silly beach adventure, completely indoors.

You will feel transported to a place built from scraps of memory, hidden inside a pile of suitcases. Throughout the show, eager audience members may be invited on stage, leaving the more reserved folk to enjoy the action from their seats.
