12 year-old Ashmol lives in the Australian outback with his mum, dad and his little sister Kellyanne… and her two invisible friends Pobby and Dingan.
One day, Pobby and Dingan disappear. At first Ashmol is happy that the imaginary friends are out of his life, but Kellyanne becomes sick. The longer Pobby and Dingan are lost, the sicker Kellyanne becomes. Finally, Ashmol decides that there is only one thing to do: he must find Pobby and Dingan. Lightning Ridge is a heart breaking and beautiful story about the possibility of dreams, about a community coming together, the preciousness of hope and how, sometimes, we have to believe in the impossible. |
The show was co-created by Robert Alan Evans, Gill Robertson, Shona Reppe and Daniel Padden. It was produced by Catherine Wheels Theatre and first performed Feb-March 2022
