A koala clings to a tree branch, surrounded by green leaves, with a soft, textured grey fur.

The Koala Who Could
Tickets From £19

Venue

Southbank Centre

Combining puppetry and songs, this is an empowering, chuckle-out-loud story about embracing change, whether we like it or not.

In a wonderful place, at the breaking of dawn, where the breezes were soft and the sunshine was warm, a place where the creatures ran wild and played free, a koala called Kevin clung to a tree.

Kevin is joined by his friends Wombat and Kangaroo as they learn that life can be great when you try something new.

Based on the award-winning book by Rachel Bright & Jim Field published by Hachette Children’s Group, adapted and directed by Emma Earle (Oi Frog & Friends!), with music and lyrics by Eamonn O’Dwyer (The Lion Inside).
