Written by Perth comedy legend Sam Longley (Beanstalk) and directed by Philip Mitchell (The One Who Planted Trees, Blueback), Pillow Fight is the feel-good holiday romp we have all been waiting for. Join the warring siblings, Shane and Nadia, on a jam-packed puppet adventure as they enlist their favourite toys in a hilarious pillow fight for the truth, ultimately learning that though the truth is fragile, the bonds of family are unbreakable.

★★★★★ “From a frolicking jaunt into magical forests to a raucous adventure in outer space and finally a courtroom denouement, the puppets in the show cover a vast terrain and take the viewer on a joyous journey.”
WeekendNotes
“The puppet design in Pillow Fight was fantastic… There was a knight in shining armour, a witch dressed in a pointed hat and sparkly robes, a spaceman with orange hair, and even a bright red football with a big mouth and goofy eyes. Pillow Fight will delight children and will make adults feel nostalgic about their childhood. “
Stage Whispers
