The always eager Dunderfot and the more introvert Miss Sky offered a show, a show developing into a story about playing and friendship. But not everything went according to plan. Dunderfot and Miss Sky fell out of their friendship, and became enemies. How can two enemies go back to being friends?

Dunderfot og frøken sky by Grenland Friteater was built around song and dance, nursery rhymes and riddles (old and new), juggling tricks and pranks in which interaction with the audience played an important role.
