A Curious Thing- The Story of Mary Anning

Come on a musical journey to a world of remarkable creatures and the extraordinary woman who discovered them: who transformed our understanding of the world forever! Join us in the place where the science of palaeontology began in the early 1800s, and discoveries were made whose memories echo across forever. 

Following a SOLD OUT, critically acclaimed season at the 2023 Adelaide Fringe, this season sees a fully re-written version of the show, with new songs, a larger cast, and an authenticity born of having been re-written in Mary Anning's home town of Lyme Regis.
