Australia's Windmill Theatre Company will return to Hong Kong from February 28 to March 2, following a 10-year hiatus, with the celebrated picture-book character Grug.

The puppetry show Grug and the Rainbow will make up the finale of the Leisure & Cultural Services Department’s “Cheers!” Series.

Grug is a character from the much-loved picture books of Australian writer Ted Prior. He began life as a burrawang treetop before falling to the ground, and is fascinated by the world around him.

In Grug and the Rainbow, Grug is amazed by the vibrant colours of a rainbow and wants to have a rainbow of his own.

The show, which will be staged at Sha Tin Town Hall, is best suited for children aged 2 to 6.

Performances in English, with simple Cantonese interpretation, will be held at 5pm and 7.30pm on February 28, at 11.30am on March 1, and at 2.30pm on March 2. Performances exclusively in English will be held at 2.30pm on March 1 and at 11.30am on March 2.

Each performance will run for about 35 minutes without intermission, and will be followed by an interactive session.

Tickets are now available at URBTIX.
