*******************************************************
Windmill Theatre from Australia will perform a story-time theatre work entitled "Grug" in April. Children aged 1 or above are welcome to watch this production, which is based on Australian writer Ted Prior's much loved picture books.
Grug, who looks like a small, striped haystack with feet and a nose, began life as the top of an Australian burrawang tree that fell to the ground. He finds the world around him fascinating, and he devises creative solutions to everyday problems without fuss.
Details of the shows are as follows:
Cultural Activities Hall, Sha Tin Town Hall
5pm and 7.30pm on April 10 (Friday)
11.30am and 2.30pm on April 11 (Saturday)
