Shoe Baby
"Parents are as transfixed as their children, some of whom are just over a year old. It was not only the most imaginative but the most philosophical piece of theatre I'd seen in ages."
Richard Dyball - The Times
"I can't help but wonder whether Shoe Baby might not turn out to be as resonant and redolent of childhood for this generation of toddlers as the Clangers and Puff the Magic Dragon are for me. It deserves to be."
Shella Parkin - BBC Southern Counties
‘Long Nosed Puppets have created wonderful, magical childrens theatre at its best."
Edinburgh Guide
"Its a great, glittery adventure’ Rating 5/5."
Three Weeks
"There's a home-made charm to Polly Dunbar and Katherine Morton's puppets for this adaptation of Shoe Baby."
The Stage
"Praise be then for the wonderful Shoe Baby puppet show…The music, by Tom Gray of Gomez, was absolutely fantastic and the sets and puppeteering spot on."
Chris Hall - The Guardian
"Possibly the best children's show I have ever seen."

The Argus

Arthur's Dream Boat
"The show takes the time to remind us to reconsider the richness of our own imaginations and the joy of immersing ourselves in innocent fantasy.
Arthur’s whole world is neatly wrapped up in a technicolour aesthetic dappled with glitter and set to Tom Gray neat and quirky soundtrack."
The Argus
Clever, witty, enchanting, fun and beautifully, impeccably performed, it turned out to be a surprisingly, refreshingly regressive 45 minutes that genuinely rekindled the vibrant, youthful spirit of my inner child.

Out of the Hat!
It’s a visually exciting delight for young children and contains enough gentle humour to keep adults entertained for an hour too. The Long Nose Puppet team are relentlessly talented, bringing stories to life with their unique and charming puppets and their delightful songs with life affirming lyrics.
Katy B, Broadway Baby
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the puppet show.
For most of our children, the show would have been their first experience of live performance and we couldn’t have asked for a better first step into that world.
