The Genesian Theatre Company is delighted to present Morris Gleitzman's 'Worry Warts', adapted for the stage by Monkey Baa, a Sydney based company dedicated to producing quality theatre for young people.

Morris Gleitzman is a very popular Australian children's author. His brilliant comic style and imagination endear him to adults and children alike.
