Who doesn’t love their little daily rituals? Who doesn’t have little habits permanently embedded in the rhythm of their day? And what if someone else, all of a sudden, takes our favourite burner on the gas cooker or, without asking, uses the cup that ONLY we drink from? Sometimes our perfectly ordered world needs to be re-arranged.

Life, after all, can surprise anyone. This becomes obvious to the characters in Amy Timberlake’s “Skunk and Badger” book, on which Igor Gorzkowski’s play is based.

We bring you a story about how a beautiful friendship can be built despite obvious differences. But how to cope with change and get used to new situations? Perhaps we need to open up to the other person and change the perspective that we have been holding onto so strongly?

The youngest members of the audience will be able to see if the sharing of a house by a quiet Badger and an extroverted Skunk can become a chance for a completely unexpected relationship. “Skunk and Badger” was named “Best Children’s Book 2020” by Kirkus Reviews magazine. The premiere on Scena Liliput is a co-production between Teatr Guliwer and Teatr Soho.

“Skunk and Badger” based on the book by Amy Timberlake, translated by Barbara Łukomska
