'The Elephant of My Heart' Kid's Storytelling Show

• Theatre

Australian Premiere

A true-life story of hope & the power of imagination! When the writer, Jessica Clements was nine she lived in Canberra. It was early one warm December day when she was swimming in a local pool that she suffered a brain haemorrhage. She was whisked into hospital and while recovering she had a very unusual visitor, an elephant! This elephant and a host of other splendid animals helped her to believe that one day she could fly!
This should be the end of the show but Jessica and her Elephant have one more gift to give. This is when they introduce the audience to the Animals at their own Heart and this animal the kids can visit whenever they like.
"A joyous story filled with hope and the power of imagination, the youngsters were totally engaged captivated" - British Theatre Review
