Barking Gecko presents Larrikin Theatre's production of "The Stones".

Suitable for highschool to adult, this dynamic production presents fast physical theatre, strong characterisation, simple but inventive staging, live music, and humour to present a factual story of teenage hooliganism that goes a step too far, with devastating consequences.

Shortlisted for 'best production' at both the 2003 Perth Fringe Awards and the 2003 IFAC/Equity Guild Awards; and achieving the IFAC/Equity finalist's list for 'best actor' for both cast members Sam Longley and Craig Williams, "The Stones" has the support of the WA Police Department for its hard-hitting message and it's appeal to young people.


Bookings for the return season, performing in Perth highschools in term 1, are still available...contact Bronwyn at Barking Gecko (08-9388-2611) for details.

Hi Everyone

I was fortunate enough to see this production at the Rechabites and then have it in production at my school. My year 10,11 and 12 students saw it and thought it was excellent.

When you can have students still talking about the show for weeks afterwards and have them talking about how to adapt parts of the show into their performances pieces , then you know that the show has made an impact on them.

Congratulations Craig , it is a great show and deserves to be seen by as many people as possible.
