THE 26-STOREY TREEHOUSE to Play Arts Centre Melbourne, 8-19 April

Melbourne audiences will be one of the first to witness the stage adaptation of THE 26-STOREY TREEHOUSE, Andy Griffiths' and Terry Denton's best-selling book, as part of an extensive national tour from 8 - 19 April at Arts Centre Melbourne's Playhouse.

This original stage adaptation of The 26-Storey Treehouse follows the highly successful stage production of The 13-Storey Treehouse, which premiered in 2013 to critical and audience acclaim and completed a major national tour.

Much loved characters Andy and Terry return, along with their friend Jill and the mysterious Hector Houtkop. The treehouse now has another 13 storeys and that means MORE inventions like the 78 flavour ice-cream-dispensing robot and the brain bamboozling Maze of Doom (not to mention the self-inflating underpants). It also means more things to go WRONG - not least of which is the very real possibility that the entire show is a complete and utter disaster. Will Andy and Terry push Jill to her absolute limits? Who is this shady Hector Houtkop, and why the really bad pirate accent?? And what about ALL THOSE PIRATES?!

Adapted by award-winning playwright and author Richard Tulloch (The Book of Everything, Bananas in Pyjamas) under the artistic direction of Julian Louis and directed by Liesel Badorrek, The 26-Storey Treehouse is brought to you by the same team that delivered the smash-hit stage version of The 13-Storey Treehouse.
