Australia's Colourful History

The show that has been performed over 3000 times with Queensland Arts Council during the 80s and 90s is back, funnier and more entertaining than ever with an updated script that brings the audience to the present day!

Max – the cool kid, Merv – the teacher’s pet and Molly – the loveable grublet are three individuals but they all have one thing in common; a passion for Australian history! Together this enthusiastic trio of primary students mount their quest to spread the word about this country’s past to primary students of the present!

Combining historical figures, famous milestones, notorious dates, interesting facts and the school’s BIGGEST library book, Kaleidoscope is the perfect piece to assist you in teaching the days of yester year.

A fast moving, colourful, tale that weaves the Dreamtime, First Fleet, Convicts, Gold Rush, Bushrangers, Queensland’s independence from New South Wales and many more key moments from Australia’s history into a 50 minute time travel expedition – through the eyes of students.

Join shake & stir theatre co as they twist, turn and focus their kaleidoscope on this enjoyably Aussie proven production.
