See, Grug is just like you and I: young and trying to find his place in this crazy world, even after suffering such massive blows like falling off trees, but whatevz, Grug's aiight.

Overview

There's no words to describe how equally excited and intrigued I am to see the stage production of beloved childhood haystack Grug. Grug is a delightful little dude who fell off the top of a Burrawang tree and has been trekking on ever since.

Ted Prior's creation Grug enjoyed a sell-out season at Out of the Box 2010, but being the gentlemen and scholar he is, he has waddled his little stripey body back to Brisbane for a series of shows before he jets off around the world, no doubt to solve world problems without the least bit of fuss. His carefree nature has been delighting audiences for over 30 years, so it's no surprise he has been drawing audiences of all ages. Looking over Grug's previous experiences, it appears he's a little bit indie? He's had a non-descript birthday (playing the secretive card, nice), played with green paint, rode his bicycle, listened to 'his' music and even had a crazy time with a rainbow... hey, we've all been to Nimbin. See, Grug is just like you and I: young and trying to find his place in this crazy world, even after suffering such massive blows like falling off trees, but whatevz, Grug's aiight. Well, what are you waiting for? Grug's stories are positively begging for you to watch and admire, not to mention the show is like puppetry, but a million times cooler. Hey, and you can say you knew Grug before he was internationally famous, you hipster, you.
