The Riddle of Washpool Gully

24 - 25 Feb - Capitol Theatre

Presented by WIN Network

GP On Sale 1 December 2025 10am

Something long asleep has decided to wake up

Far beyond the outskirts of the big city, near a tiny town that nearly everyone forgot, lay a dry creek bed of no special significance. Once upon a time it had been called Washpool Gully. But the world had moved on from insignificant things, and no one had time for dry creek beds. Except in Washpool Gully something was stirring. Shaken by the rumble of engines and darkening of the sky, something long asleep had decided to wake up.

“A delicate, poetic, entrancing, yet bold and grounded narrative that sweeps you up from its first to its final words. ABM

Combining old-fashioned storytelling with contemporary puppetry and miniature sets, The Riddle of Washpool Gully is a reimagined tale of Australian mythology about the incredible creatures that might still live in the uncharted corners of our vast country.
