Attenborough and his Animals

The magic of David Attenborough live on stage! A blue whale swims through the ocean depths. Racer snakes pursue a young iguana across the desert. Watch as two hapless but enthusiastic clowns recreate extraordinary scenes of the natural world - a world teetering on the brink of disaster.

Catch this award-winning five star show for an epic hour of clowning, physical theatre and the largest range of animals you will ever see on stage! Returning to Adelaide in Sir David Attenborough's 100th year!
