EXTRACT: ..Because Helena possessed the most beautiful singing voice in the whole, wide world. At first after her mother left in a telephone and then her father left in a boat, Helena Bugosi sold berries she picked, to the children who walked home from the local school. But in winter the berries turned hard and turned sour, and soon there were none for the kids to devour. So she sang on a corner, in her father's coat, 'til a noble he noticed her notable notes.

EXTRACT: On this night, as the last beads of the most perfect red necklace roll around the earth and into darkness, the animals hear the voice of a girl that lures them back after all these years. And they stand shoulder to shoulder beside her, and they call their love to the sea. Jackdaws and ravens and heart-tailed pipers lift their beaks and sing in perfect harmony. The foxes and tigers write eulogies with their claws in the wet sand, and offer each other hankies. The old wolf sheds a single tear.

REVIEW: HELENA AND THE JOURNEY OF THE HELLO

SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 21 JUNE 2010

"With its mature themes relating to loss, loneliness, grief and personal resilience, the 55- minute show from Hobart's Terrapin Puppet Theatre is designed for kids aged at least 10. While it may sound serious, Tasmanian playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer sprinkles lots of comedy and humour throughout the show, which combines traditional and digital puppetry with live music, song and the inventive use of mobile phones to tell Helena's touching story."
