Girl Running, Boy Falling
By Kate Gordon
An adaptation for the stage by Kate Gaul
Due to the current impacts of the Covid pandemic in Tasmania, Girl Running Boy Falling did not proceed in March and April, 2022.
Whilst this is a very disappointing decision to have to make, Mudlark's number one priority is the health and safety of our artists and our wider community.
Ticketholders for all performances will be refunded by Theatre North and Paranaple Arts Centre.
We thank you for your ongoing support and understanding.
A magical stage adaptation of the award winning book.
Tiger is sixteen and lives in Burnie. Her Aunt Kath calls her Tiger. Her friends call her Resey. The boy she loves calls her Champ. She’s a lot of different things for a lot of different people. She’s running through high school, but someone in her life is about to fall. When he does, her perfect world falls with him. For the first time in her life, Tiger can’t stand being on the ground.
The story is a beating heart of messy, funny characters and their lives are lovingly adapted for the stage by Kate Gaul.
‘Girl Running, Boy Falling is everything you could hope for … it’s thoughtful, artful, deftly crafted, raw, real and deeply affecting.’
