Adelaide Fringe 2020 Praise for Switch Witchetty

★★★★★ "Brilliantly acted with fantastic original music, Switch Witchetty’s Almanac of Everything is a rollicking ride with plenty of substance." - Global Media Post

★★★★ "Switch Witchetty’s Almanac of Everything is a rollicking ride with plenty of substance your kids will love." - The Advertiser

A high-energy adventure filled with music, mayhem and ordinary bedsheets, straight from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Switch Witchetty is a court fool who can “switch” into others, allowing a unique perspective into their story. When the Kingdom needs a new King, Switch is forced to use this ability, writing the stories of the people in The Almanac of Everything. Before the two kings tear the kingdom apart, Switch must choose - hero or fool? Switch is a parabolic folktale combining makeshift design and original music to question the role empathy plays in decision making, and addressing resource management, gender roles, class divide, privilege, corporate greed, and integrity.
