KAPUT
By Tom Flanagan
This multi award-winning family show has melted hearts around the world with its glorious brand of slapstick, acrobatics and total silliness.
Be swept up in the mayhem that is the larger-than-life ‘elegant buffoon’ Tom Flanagan, as one man’s life is flipped upside-down by the lonely, dust-covered world that surrounds him.
In the style of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, our likeable, luckless hero struggles to get the upper hand, taking one step forward and two steps back until everything is… well… kaput.
 :
“[Kaput] just reaches in and puts a string of coloured lights around your heart” – The Scotsman
“Tom Flanagan’s silent-movie clowning in Kaput is pure delight” – The Australian
“Watching this hilariously adept performer fighting the forces of chaos was a treat” – Sydney Morning Herald
Suitable for all ages.
A Koral Chandler and Critical Stages Production

The Secret World of Arrietty (G)
Thursday 3 October, 11am | $7
Inspired by the beloved childrens book The Borrowers. This charming film centres on Arrietty, a tiny teenager who secretly lives with her family hidden in the walls and floors of a suburban house, and her friendship with Shawn, one of the ‘big people’ who live in the house. Created by Japan’s award-winning Studio Ghibli, this gorgeous film will enchant the entire family with its stunning visuals and gentle, heartfelt story.
We believe future generations will prosper with vibrant, child and youth friendly neighbourhoods and services that nurture wellbeing and resillience.
Alliance members harness the latest evidence about ways to solve complex child, family and community problems to improve outcomes for children and young people in the Blue Mountains.
