Babes in the Wood | Written and Directed by Barrie Hunter | Main StageBillie and Bobbie Babes (siblings and best friends) have been having a tough time of late. Packed off to a cabin in The Spooky Woods with their strange (some say supernatural) Auntie Agnes, they’re now being told to leave… immediately! She says they’ll be “safer” living in the woods on their own, in a tent, with no one looking out for them. AYE, RIGHT!!
Who was that Mysterious Man in the Marketplace? And what’s behind all the strange noises, flashing lights and weird smells?
Something sinister is most definitely afoot…
Join Billie and Bobbie as they wind their weary way through The Spooky Woods, meeting characters weird, wonderful and strangely familiar, and some of the cutest woodland creatures you’ll ever encounter. Will they make it out in one piece?
There’s only one way to find out – book now for Babes in the Wood, Perth Theatre’s panto for Christmas 2027!
