New Owner by The Last Great Hunt

"New Owner" by The Last Great Hunt

4-8 August 2018 
Kanagawa Arts Theatre and TACT/FEST (Osaka)

From the creators of international smash hits The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer and It’s Dark Outside comes a sensitive new show for all ages about loss, friendship and new beginnings. The Last Great Hunt will be presenting New Owner at the Tact Festival and the Kanagawa Arts Theatre as part of Australia now 2018.
Bart is a boisterous puppy waiting to be chosen from the animal shelter. Mabel is a lonely widow, trying to fill the hole in her heart. The day they find each other is the beginning of a profound friendship – but Mabel is old, and Bart is young – and suddenly alone.

Combining puppetry, live action and animation, New Owner takes us on a world of adventure through a dog’s eyes.

The production was nominated for Best Presentation for Children at the 2017 Helpmann Awards.
