The Adventures of the Little Red Hen

Fri 10th - Sat 11th Apr

Making bread is hard work, but it would be a lot easier if the lazy farmyard animals got off their reclining sofas and lent a hand! Join our plucky little hen as she finds her own way to get stuff done. 

“Who will help me plant these grains of wheat?”
“Not I” said the Pig.
“Not I” said the Rat.
“Not I” said the Cow.
“Fair enough,” said the Little Red Hen, “I’ll do it myself!”

An energetic adaptation of this much-loved story, featuring a breath-taking combination of brilliant puppetry, live music and unforgettable comedy.
