AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The Tashi plays are theatrical adaptations of Anna and Barbara Fienberg's well loved children's books about the magical and mysterious adventures of a young migrant boy, Tashi, and his best friend, Jack. Each story is approximately 25 minutes long and aimed at 4-10 year olds. The stories are performed in pairs to create a 60 minute session with a 10 minute changeover between stories. Each different story is performed on the same set by the same four performers and is underscored by a dynamic sound design.' (Ausstage record)
