Robert the Octopus - Midsumma Festival

Sadie has a crush on her co-worker Georgia. But they only ever see each other online. In a desperate attempt to capture Georgia’s attention, Sadie buys a pet octopus - Robert. Her ploy works and Georgia comes to visit. Socially awkward, and unsure of how to woo Georgia, Sadie turns to Robert for help. A comedy of error ensues.

Robert the Octopus is a fast paced, laugh out loud play about pet ownership and the struggles of dating.
