Barking Gecko's Gogo Fish comes to The Don for One Day only.

Prehistoric fishy holiday story for the kids Imagine a time when fish began a gradual move to dry land. Gogo Fish, Barking Gecko Theatre Company’s latest play for children, explores this idea in its school holiday shows at the Don Russell Performing Arts Centre on Monday 6 October at 11am and 1pm. Gogo Fish recreates the world of the Placoderms – water-borne, amour-plated evolutionary ancestors of humans that lived in the Kimberley 375 million years ago. The play takes you there with a time-travelling fish club. When the club arrives in our prehistoric past, something amazing is happening to the Kimberley swamp fish. They are developing the bone structures of arms and legs. But … will the Placoderms realise that to be a fish out of water is progress? Gogo Fish is a Western Australian story with international significance, a comedy based on scientific fact. The show features Jimmy James Eaton, one of Perth’s best comedy, theatre and television talents, who has performed at the International Melbourne Comedy Festival and is a regular at improvisational comedy show The Big Hoo-Haa. Also performing is Cassandra Vagliviello, who recently completed a three-year theatre studies degree at Curtin University and is an active member of Perth’s community theatre scene. Gogo Fish author Damon Lockwood has penned several other popular Barking Gecko shows including Pri-mates, Muttaburrasaurus and Nature as Explained by Theatre. It’s suitable for all ages but is written for children five to 12. Admission is $11.10 or $9 for groups of 10 or more.
