The Small Poppies is a funny, playful look at the rite of passage of starting "big school" through the eyes of a five year old. With the innocence and clear-sighted wisdom of children, Clint and his friends show how, with a little tolerance and understanding, we can all get along in our multicultural society, and that who you are matters so much more than what you are.
New Theatre is pleased to welcome NIDA graduate Felicity Nicol to direct The Small Poppies in her first production for the Company.
“I’ve wanted to direct this play ever since I saw the production with Geoffrey Rush at Belvoir St 12 years’ ago when I was a teenager,” says Felicity.
“It made the strongest impression on me. Never had I seen such a celebration of imagination on stage before. So I was thrilled when New Theatre offered me the opportunity to bring it to life."
This delightful classic of Australian children's theatre is a treat for the whole family. Suitable for ages 5 and up.
