Theme of the Night: Call of the Wild stories about ....​

This Couch Stories show took place in the great outdoors, amongst the caravans and tents at the Tahuna Beach Holiday Camp . Created in association with The Collective Memories Project the show featured stories about a pup tent romance, what happens when you eat too many cherries, (the ones you’re supposed to be picking!)  summer holidays with glider mad parents and the challenges of climbing Yosemite’s El Capitan.
