• The Key in the Sea
  16 & 17 February 2.30pm age 3+
  A playful tale of love, monsters and adventures on the high seas! Princess Brunhilde runs away from home, fed up with being ignored by her royal parents and spends the night in an old tower by the sea, unaware that a greedy sea monster would like to have her as a snack!
  Knut, a courageous fisherman who lives on an island, finds a bottle containing Brunhilde’s cry for help. Performed with puppets made from natural materials...there’ll be live music and lots of joining in.
• Old Mother Hubbard
  19 & 20 February 2.30pm age 2+
  A dotty old woman takes you on a nursery rhyme journey as she clatters about in her kitchen and her dancing dog sniffs out trouble in the most unlikely places.
  Garlic Theatre delight with a spicy blend of slapstick and folk humour in this fresh and funny adaptation, with
  Well-crafted glove puppets, clowning and a feast of musical treats.
• Red Riding Hood’s Magic Purse

  Join an adventurous Red Riding Hood, an independent Granny (home at last from her trip round the world) and of course, the wonderful Wicked Wolf. Find out how Red Riding Hood’s magic purse saves the day in this delightful show.
  Rod-glove puppets and shadow theatre combined with original music bring this fabulous story to life.
• The Vertigo of Sheep

  A well-meaning but unreliable clown attempts to explain the Book of Genesis.
  Were Adam and Eve set up to fail? Did Abraham truly intend to sacrifice his son?
  Why did Lot's wife really turn into a pillar of salt?
  Through household objects, puppets, physical theatre and live music, Thingumajig Theatre creates a world
  In which profane objects are sacred and the sacred is hilarious.
