Polyglot’s global assault continues. We are mid-way through our week’s performances of Check Out! and Tooth and Claw in Korea, Earlier this week, we performed to enthusiastic crowds at the National Theatre of Korea during the KB Youth Festival, and we’re about to open a season at the Nowon Theatre in Seoul. Performed in English with Korean subtitles, Check Out! has become one of our most popular works internationally. If you missed it at home, we hope to bring Check Out! back for our local audiences again soon – watch this space! |

| City of Riddles - next steps in development |
 |
|
We’ve finished our residency at Dinjerra Primary School, where the children worked with Polyglot’s creative team to develop stories, characters and images for our new work City of Riddles, which will be touring Victorian schools from November. Next week our artists will be in creative development lockdown as Sue Giles, Daniele Poidomani, James Wilkinson, Nick Barlow, Tamara Rewse and Richard Vabre take the next steps in developing the piece.

Last week we announced our exciting tour across the UK and Ireland starting at the Macrobert Centre, Stirling Scotland on 25 May, before heading to Carlisle England, Dublin Ireland and finally the Royal National Theatre as part of the London International Festival of Theatre. Check out the LIFT program – we are excited to be appearing alongside our Victorian colleagues Back to Back Theatre in this prestigious international event, cementing Polyglot’s reputation as an international leader in interactive children’s theatre.
We would like to thank Arts Victoria and the Australia Council for the Arts for supporting this tour of We Built This City. |

| Muckheap at Chapel Off Chapel |
 |
|
Our popular show, Muckheap returns to Melbourne to entertain local audiences at Chapel Off Chapel, Prahran. Limited school holiday season - two dates only- Tue 29 and Wed 30 June 2010 at 11am. There’s a limited capacity so book quickly - call 03 8290 7000.
Muckheap is a fantastically messy tale of two people cleaning out their shed. But their junk is too interesting, useful or full of memories to throw out. As memories and characters take over, audiences are swept up into a storytelling frenzy. This show invites children to become their own story makers. Muckheap has toured to festivals and schools since 2001 and is enjoyed heartily by adults and kids alike.
