We will be performing Flyaway Katie in the Hurly Burly tent this May as part of Brighton Fringe Festival.

All three shows are touring in 2012, please see tour dates for individual shows in pages.

Penguin is our third puppet show, adapted from the award winning book by Polly Dunbar.

Ben is delighted when he rips open his present and finds a penguin inside. “Hello, Penguin!” says Ben. Penguin says nothing. What can Ben do to make Penguin speak? Follow the twists and turns of this wonderful tale, in which a silent Penguin turns marvelously eloquent and a little boy finally gets his heart’s desire.

‘Take an hour out to restore your faith in all that is good about being alive with Long Nose Puppets’ Penguin.’ The Argus

‘It’s a warm-hearted show, with some wonderful sharp edges that delight rather than scare. It’s done with impressive imagination, and the energetic music is a perfect companion to the narrative, the puppetry is of an excellent standard and there’s an inventiveness and imagination that has resulted in a gem of a show.’ Fringe Review

‘The dreamy, almost hypnotic quality of this show is reminiscent of 1970s children’s shows likeBagpuss, even down to the droll-voiced narrator, and the piece exudes a quiet confidence in its lo-fi magic that is both compelling and justified.’ Total Theatre
