About This Show:
In 2026, words don’t just change minds—they change history.
This fast-paced, time-hopping adventure takes students from the thunderous speeches of Ancient Rome to the protest poetry of the future.
Along the way, our unlikely heroes crash into key moments where persuasive language and poetry sparked revolution, shaped society, and stirred the soul.
Armed with only their wits (and a highly malfunctioning time- travel device), they must learn to speak up—or risk being trapped in time forever.
Designed for students in Years 6–10, this brand-new touring production by Grin and Tonic Theatre Troupe fuses curriculum- aligned content with riotous theatrical energy.
Students will encounter techniques in persuasive writing, poetic forms, rhetorical devices, and more—all brought to life by professional actors and a wildly imaginative script.
Big ideas. Big laughs. Bigger words than you’d expect.
