The Censor

  • Family and kids

The Censor is a show by kids, for kids and their adults – where kids get to decide what to do.

THE CENSOR invites audiences from 8-100 to a special island where the usual rules don't apply.

Here, the kids are in charge – unexpected, unfiltered, uncensored.

Part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
