SQUAWK
By Wellington Young actors
Ten years ago, Squawk ruffled feathers.
Now it’s back — reimagined, redesigned, and more deliciously subversive than ever.
From Wellington Young Actors, the capital’s award-winning youth theatre company, comes a crown-snapping, rule-breaking satire that flips the fairytale on its perfectly-coiffed head. In a kingdom obsessed with perfection, someone's about to start scratching around for something real.
There’s fashion.
There’s rebellion.
There’s a magical talking worm.
Backed by a cast of fierce young performers and developed with the next generation of emerging theatre artists, Squawk is funny, sharp, and unsettling in all the right ways.
Because some stories don’t want a happy ending — they want a megaphone.

“Underneath the machinery of the plot details, the clever folk from Wellington Young Actors are delving away at another set of questions: Whose story are we in? And why? What story do we want to be in? How do we get there?”
