The Carbon Neutral Adventures of the Indefatigable Enviroteens | Theatre Royal
From Australia’s enormously popular and only marsupial Walkley award-winning cartoonist comes this hilarious environmentally-friendly adventure. Our superheroes - a marsupial, a hybrid monotreme, and a nervous sourdough baker – unite as the Enviroteens – a planet-defending, earth-loving, ever-determined and entirely loveable pack. These three have a mighty job on their hands as they work to save the world from an army of sinister, conniving, evil and polluting villains. But can they save the whole world?
