When The 78-Storey Treehouse was released last year, it broke records to become the fastest ever-selling Australian book. The wildly popular series, written by dynamos of children’s fiction Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton, has captured the imagination of Aussie kids everywhere, selling over 2.6 million copies to date. Now, their zany stories are coming to life in a play adapted by Richard Tulloch, who’s also given the stage treatment to Australia young adult classics like Hating Alison Ashley and Space Demons .
Meet all the oddball characters from the book, from the legendary Mr Big Shot to Mel Gibbon the gibbon, as Andy and Terry bound their way through the Scribbletorium, high-security potato chip storage facility and open-air movie theatre on their wild adventures.
