SATURDAY:
Arthur’s Dream Boat by Long Nose Puppets
Saturday 23 Nov | 11am or 2pm | £8 ticket | £30 family of 4 ticket
It is the story about a little boy who has a dream.
One night, Arthur has an amazing dream about a beautiful pink and green boat with a stripy mast. He can’t wait to tell everyone about it but no one (not even his dog!) is interested. In fact, they don’t even notice that this very same boat is growing on his head, getting larger and larger by the minute! Soon, Arthur is bouncing along the waves in his very own dream boat. Maybe now his family will listen to him! A magical playful children’s show with breathtaking puppets, so enchanting that everyone will want to sail away with Arthur’s in his dream boat! This show is brought to you by Long Nose Puppets, makers of Shoe Baby, Penguin and Out of the Hat!
The music is by Tom Gray, of the Mercury Award winning band Gomez.
Running time: 40 mins plus 15 mins to meet the puppets
Suitability: 2 – 8 years
