THE LUCK CHILD

9 - 10 Jul 2027

Winner of the Sydney Theatre Award for Best Children's Production

Inspired by a timeless folktale and brought vividly to life by acclaimed performer David Collins of The Umbilical Brothers, The Luck Child is a magical, laugh-out-loud adventure for audiences young and old. The story follows the “luckiest boy in the world” as he encounters evil kings, mysterious wizards, fantastical creatures and extraordinary challenges on a journey filled with imagination, courage and heart.

Using breathtaking physical comedy, masterful storytelling and a dazzling cast of characters, all performed by a single actor, Collins creates a theatrical experience that captivates audiences young and old. The Luck Child is filled with humour, surprises and an uplifting message about destiny, kindness and believing in yourself.

"If you have children, take them. If you don't, yet find yourself with a spare daytime hour this week, this would be a delightful way to spend it."
Sydney Morning Herald
"The Luck Child is witty, inventive and endlessly charming – a reminder of the magic that can happen when a truly skilled performer invites us to imagine an entire world with him."
