Chemistry between the cast is natural, strong and joyful. Jimi Bani is the boy’s mentor and friend, Fingerbone, an animated and passionate personality manifested by Bani’s excellent use of gesture and movement. His father Tom is performed with subtle complexity by Julian Garner, an efficient and restrained actor who manages to reveal a world of emotion with a beautifully minimal approach. We see him completely absorbed, and believe unreservedly in all that he portrays. The lead role of Storm Boy is played by Rory Potter who impresses with an almighty focus and a deep understanding of his character’s journey. Lighting Designer Damien Cooper and Sound Designer Kingsley Reeve both contribute extraordinarily inventive work that help form a fantastical experience that is truly amazing. Peter Wilson is Puppetry Director, and along with Michael Scott-Mitchell who is designer for set, costumes and the puppets, their artful vision is successfully translated to convey Thiele’s magical tale with great poignancy. Phil Dean Walford and Anthony Mayor are dancers who provide an indigenous omnipresence to the show, while simultaneously, and marvellously, operating the pelicans that share centre stage with its protagonist. The expert level of stagecraft being incorporated is sophisticated and dynamic, with its puppetry elements a breathtaking stand out. It is a soulful rendition of an innocent tale that can touch the hardest of hearts. John Sheedy’s direction of the piece is intelligent, creative and tender. Theatre productions are staged regularly to introduce new generations of children to the story, and its lessons, not only of environment conservation, but also of death, grief, and for Australian audiences, the relationship between Aboriginal and European cultures on our land. Colin Thiele’s book Storm Boy was published in 1964, and in 1976, its film version was released. We then give ourselves permission to devour and ravage the planet as though a commodity at our disposal, without its own rights and destinies. Indeed, humankind often thinks of itself as separate from nature, and superior to it.

There’s no need to go overboard as Saturday’s Class 3A IHSA girls cross country state meet approaches, something the St. Torree Scull finds herself itching to accelerate her workout mileage this week, even though she knows better.
