South Australia • Adelaide Fringe Premiere

Patch comes to your primary school! A special visitor, Stephen, arrives in the classroom with a suitcase full of old gifts – some mysterious jars from birthdays long past. Each jar contains a distinct smell and countless story possibilities. Students shape the narrative, bringing their far-fetched ideas to life, before joining Stephen on a treasure hunt to find the most mysterious smell of all.

Imagination leads the way in this scented adventure.

“Loved this session... very engaging and interactive. Kids held onto every word that was spoken." – Teacher
