Puffs (or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic) by Matt Cox
Event description
Narrabundah College Drama presents PUFFS (Or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic) by Matt Cox.Â
For seven years a certain boy wizard went to a certain Wizard School and conquered evil. This, however, is not his story. This is the story of the Puffs... who just happened to be there too. A tale for anyone who has never been destined to save the world.Â
Meet Wayne, an ordinary boy who just might be a hero, and his two best friends. They're eleven years old, all alone at a new school in a faraway land called England, and they've just been sorted into the house of the Puffs. Alongside this group of lovable misfits who really, really love badgers, as well as an eclectic cast of familiar characters, the trio set off on a series of wild and whimsical adventures to prove that, just maybe, it's not about being the hero. Maybe it's about something else instead. Love? Snacks? Being yourself?
Heart-warming and hilarious, this is the wizarding world like you've never seen it. Welcome to the world of 'Puffs'.Â
