Edward Lear's Dream by Sea Legs Puppet Theatre Sun 14 Feb 11am

Join Piggywig this Valentine's Day for the greatest literary love story ever since the Dish Ran Away With The Spoon! Featuring Edward Lear's whimsical rhymes and limericks brought fabulously to life on stage, by puppeteer Rob Ashman. Encounter the Jumblies and the Fizzgiggious Fish, journey to the land of the Quangle Wangle's Hat, greet the Bisky Bat, and meet Pobble, who has no toes! Not forgetting, the legendary tale of the Owl and the Pussy Cat who went to sea in a beautiful pea-green boat. The performance includes a cast of fabulous puppets, an innovative stage set, and a brilliant musical soundtrack with six new songs inspired by Lear’s famous poems and limericks. Enjoy the music and singing, and meet the puppets after the show.

“We always look forward to Sea Legs’ performances at Square Chapel as they are always hiqh quality and popular with schools and family audiences alike. The puppets are beautiful and it is always a treat for children to meet them at the end.” Michaela O'Sullivan. Education & Outreach Manager, Square Chapel Centre for the Arts, Halifax.

“Rarely do I bother to review anything but I felt I had to in this instance… My 4 year old son was totally mesmerised from start to finish and I love the idea that you simply tell a lovely, meaningful story in an old fashioned fun way.” Heidi Azarpour. Audience Member, Stafford Gatehouse.
