Details

Set at the beginning of time, along Africa's Limpopo River, the Eldest Magician created a world full of beasts, birds and fish. Everything was just so, until Pau Amma the Crab began playing with the ocean, causing a flood that threatened the other animals. To stop the crab, the Elephant's Child must embark on a quest down the Limpopo River. With the help of the Kolokolo Bird they discover a world of weird and wonderful creatures and learn how the leopard got his spots, how the rhinoceros got his skin, and how curiosity and a hungry crocodile can turn an elephant's small nose into a very large trunk. A Summer School week culminating in two performances of Stiles and Drewe's Just So based on the immortal short stories of Rudyard Kipling.
