Created for the Melbourne Theatre Company and Queensland Theatre production of Storm Boy, the inquisitive, playful, magnificent and clumsy pelican puppets took to the Playhouse stage in 2019.

Here, Dead Puppet Society Creative Director David Morton and Executive Producer Nicholas Paine talk about bringing their puppets to life.

Colin Thiele’s cherished yet bittersweet coming-of-age story was adapted for the stage by Tom Holloway, and presented by Melbourne Theatre Company and Queensland Theatre in association with Dead Puppet Society.
