The Girl Who Swallowed a Cactus at Wychwood Theatre

"Nothing but time... and imagination." Five friends and a coyote on a mission to save the world. School is out for the summer, the weather is unbearably hot and the boredom is heavy. But eight-year-old Sheila and her cohort of pals aren’t going to let the summer heat wear them down.

When topping their fantastical junk yard fort with a magical object draws a clever coyote into their midst, they all find themselves transported into the scorched desert, facing a series of perilous challenges. Together they embark on an adventure to learn about the ways humans affect the environment and the animals with whom we share the planet, and take on the mission of saving the world from ourselves.

A unique twist on traditional storytelling, where a bit of moonlight brings a menagerie of found objects to life. This new, original play shows the power of memory and imagination, and will captivate and inspire audiences of all ages.
