The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee
2009 GPAC, Geelong
Spelling Bee is a hilarious tale of six quirky twelve-year olds in the throes of puberty battling it out for glory: to be the sole survivor in their local spelling competition. Watched over by three equally odd-ball adults the result is a side splitting, fast paced, dog eat dog, bizarre and slightly disturbing insight into the world of junior school competition spelling.
“…staged with great panache by Doorstep Arts… a top line-up of talent behind the scenes and onstage…irresistible”
