Actor on a Box: The Loaded Dog

An explosive tale about a trio of miners and their dog.

When their overgrown pup Tommy steals a stick of dynamite and runs it through a fire, the wick is lit for mayhem and chaos. This delightful Australian classic tale comes from the pen of one of our favourite bush poets, Henry Lawson.

About Actor on a Box
Gather round and hear a tale... Actor on a Box is designed to introduce the magic of theatre to our youngest audiences. Combining classic storytelling, physical theatre and a whole bag of fun, Actor on a Box is a joyful and enticing theatrical ride into timeless tales told by fine actors. Staged in the beautiful Richard Wherrett Studio at the Sydney Theatre, these fun, intimate and interactive performances will delight families with well known tales made manifest by the finest of STC's theatre artists.

After successful exploration and presentation in 2009, we are proud to present two exemplary tales for children in our inaugural STC Ed's Actor on a Box Series.

"Storytelling is a luxury at any age and when the storyteller is Henry Lawson, brought to larger-than-life by actor Stefo Nantsou, it's sheer delight...Simply staged and beautifully performed." stagenoise
