Albany Entertainment Centre | The Great Un-Wondering of Wilbur Whittaker

The Great Un-Wondering of Wilbur Whittaker is a brand new Australian play about creativity, growing up and living outside of the box.

As a boy, Wilbur was known as Wilbur the Wonderer. He wondered on the bus to school, he wondered while eating his bag of lollies from the tuckshop, and he wondered while Mrs Murphington wrote his homework on the board. But as Wilbur grew up, he forgot all about his wonderings and concentrated on more sensible things like neckties and…fences. That is until Wilbur is visited by a collections officer from The Bureau – a recycling agency for long forgotten wonderings. Wilbur surrenders a special shoebox of his most precious childhood wonderings only to discover that without it, he begins to fade away.

With time running out before he disappears completely, Wilbur is unwittingly drawn into an adventure that takes him from his known world to the furthest reaches of outer space. Joined by a cast of fantastical characters along the way, Wilbur must remember how to wonder once more and restore order to the galaxy. From the writer/director duo behind 2021’s sell-out smash HOUSE and Helpmann Award-winning stage hit Bambert’s Book of Lost Stories, The Great Un-Wondering of Wilbur Whittaker is a heartfelt and irreverent adventure across the universe that will delight and inspire your students!
