I think humour is at its most marvellous when it enchants. It is a form
of enchantment, which opens something up, a new possibility but no
answer. Michael Leunig
We wanted to create a piece of theatre that enchants - a simple, visual
piece of theatre using everyday objects - so that people of all ages
could come and sit together in the dark and laugh.
Jane Leicester & Greg Cousins
Special Delivery is a comic fable about a busy deliveryman, a trolley load of boxes and the world that opens up when a door stays shut. A world of sound where nothing is said, where work becomes child’s play and everyday objects are magically transformed.
Full of wonder, surprise and gentle humour Special Delivery is enchanting visual theatre.
“A stream of consciousness, visual theatre work, perfectly pitched at its 3-8year old target group … delightfully mischievous … beautifully performed … the children were engrossed.” Louise Nunn – Advertiser Newspaper
“Patch Theatre Company has added a terrific new show to its repertoire with Special Delivery …one of the most magical, imaginative and entertaining shows of the Fringe … gets my vote as the SEN-Sational Children’s Theatre Show for the 2006 Adelaide Fringe … this innovative, par-excellence piece of children’s theatre is truly one out of the box.” Matt Byrne – Sunday Mail Newspaper
“Special Delivery delivers something special. Patch Theatre Company continues to create theatre that engages and enchants both children and adults - 5 out of 5!” Simon Slade – Adelaide Theatre Review
