Grug and the rainbow on stage
After sell-out seasons around the globe, the smash-hit production of Grug and the Rainbow returns to Adelaide for a special school holiday season.

After a stormy night, Grug awakes one morning to find a beautiful rainbow striped across the sky. He tries sneaking up on it and climbing mountains in an attempt to reach it. But it’s no use… it’s always just out of his grasp!

Perfect for the youngest of theatregoers (and Grug fans of all ages), Grug and the Rainbow plays a strictly limited season from 4-16 October at Adelaide Festival Centre.
