Long Nose Puppets are returning with 'Penguin' Autumn 2026/Spring 2027
Long Nose Puppets show PENGUIN is based on the award-winning book by Polly Dunbar. Ben is delighted when he rips open his present, inside is a penguin. "Hello Penguin!" says Ben. Penguin says nothing. Ben tickles Penguin; he pulls his funniest face; he puts on a happy hat, sings a silly song and does a dizzy dance. Penguin says nothing..so Ben fires Penguin into OUTER SPACE, Penguin comes back to earth without a word! It isn't until a passing lion intervenes that Penguin finally speaks...and when he does, Ben discovers something that was really worth the wait.
Penguin is exiting, surreal and full of surprises, full to the brim with lively songs by Tom Gray of Gomez that will have everyone joining in!
