The Ugly Duckling

Written by Rob Ormsby and

Directed by Rachel More

3 – 17 July

At

4 Moncrieff St., Mt. Victoria

A hilarious adaptation of the classic story about an unusual little duckling who doesn’t fit in and is shunned by those around him. He leaves to find his own place in the world, meeting a number of well-known children's storybook characters along the way, who try to help him.

A quacker of a tale proving that you can't judge a book by its cover!

KidzStuff has produced many successful plays written by talented local writer Rob Ormsby, including The Princess and the Pea (2006), Jack and the Beanstalk (2007) and The Pied Piper (2008).
