Special Delivery 2008 single work drama children's humour fable

'"Special Delivery" is an urban fairytale about a deliveryman, who is lured out of the busy-ness of his daytime world back into the mysteries and possibilities of childhood play and imagination.

'This wordless visual comedy features a foley artist who provides the music and sounds that orchestrate the story of a deliveryman who, in attempting to make a delivery, finds himself lured into a quirky, Tati-esque world where ordinary objects are imbued with mystery and magic. The journey beguilingly unfolds as the boxes and their contents make connections that draw him, clue by clue, back to the wonders of his childhood, beckoning him to reconstruct the lost joys of his own parenting.

'In an enchanting finale, the "Delivery Man" is packed into a small box and delivered through the previously impenetrable warehouse door, back into a life of new possibilities and priorities. And so a Special Delivery is made.'

2008 nominated Sydney Theatre Awards Best Production for Children Nominated for the 2008 Patch Theatre production.
