Below The Worms


A feijoa. A witch. A Secret. And two children on a mission at midnight in search of magic. With a hound on their heels and a huhu grub to find the mysteries of the garden unravel before their eyes.

Below the Worms is an absurdist magic realism live work that follows the story of two families that live in homes that sit in the same house above and below each other. The brunt of the story takes place in the front garden that the families share and the audience views the story through the eyes of the two children that belong to the families. The world is full of unexplained magic that slips into the ordinary such as the garden of singing worms and the witch that lives next door with her blood thirsty hound. Despite its terrors and delights the homes live in harmony until a kept secret between the families is revealed and the world is no longer what the children once thought.

Below the Worms is an outdoor theatre experience of physical theatre, puppetry and live music. 

Created by S.L.U.G (Society for Little Ugly Girls) Theatre Company as one of their two debut works in NZ Fringe Festival: Below the Worms and Doormat. S.L.U.G, started by Sarah Lawrence and Sugar Rea-Bruce, aims to create work that makes your heart sing, and that can be both brash and beautiful.
