With slapstick humour, witty repartee, corny jokes and traditional elements, Murwillumbah Civic Centre will echo with laughter, song and excitement with the re-telling of the folk favourite across six performances.

Show times are Friday, October 13, at 7.30pm, Saturday, October 14, at 5.30pm, Saturday, October 21, at 5.30pm, Sunday, October 22, at 2pm, Saturday, October 28, at 7.30pm and Sunday, October 29 ,at 2pm.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $6 for children and are available at murwillumbah theatrecompany.com.au, from Larkins Electrical in Wharf Street or at the door.

Audience members are encouraged to dress up as their favourite characters.
