The Young King - Award-winning children's theatre
Families across Melbourne are in for a treat. The achingly beautiful and tender language of Oscar Wilde joins the intimate and magical world of internationally acclaimed Adelaide theatre company, Slingsby. Journey in wonder, to a land of challenging choices and rich rewards.
A cleverly staged immersive entry process brings the audience into the world of the show and casts the audience as the people of the kingdom.
The production is part of a children’s literature and performing arts festival coming to the newly opened Ian Potter Centre for Performing Arts at Monash University, Clayton.
The inaugural Family Fiesta, running in the school holidays from Friday 5th to Sunday 7th July is one of the few festivals in Australia which focuses on children’s literature and art.
Curated for children aged 3-12 years, the festival features 10 free events and one ticket performance. The festival activates all the venue spaces that make up the new performing arts centre and it is designed so families can drop in and explore throughout the day.
NOTE: You may take up to 2 tickets per membership. The retail price for a double pass is $70. If you wanted to take up more tickets, please ask a family member or friend to register on our site as a member and take up tickets through their membership.

Great performance
Blown away by this performance, so professional and engaging! Thank you!
Challenging and just a little bit scary, but quality theatre and something of a rarity
AMAZING! One of the best, most creative, interactive performances i have been to. Although it was scary a times, it was definately a wonderful Five star experience!
So engaging kids enjoyed too... a little dark for younger ones but performance and production on point
