A Little Angel Theatre production
This Little Angel Theatre original musical brings a tale from Scandinavian folklore to life with puppetry, original music and a sprinkling of pixie magic.
It’s Christmas Eve on the farm, and the chickens, pigs and cows are fast asleep. Inside the farmhouse, the fire is roaring and a delicious, steaming pudding is left out on the windowsill…
When Charlie and her dad move to the farm from the city, everything seems to go wrong. Dolly the cow’s in a grump, there’s not an egg to be found, and even the cockerel has stopped crowing! If only they’d paid attention to the mysterious note left on their windowsill about a curious pixie and the pudding she likes to eat on Christmas Eve

A Water Journey
Visiting Company – String Theatre
For KS1 and KS2

In this crisis caused by climate change, the group undertakes a dangerous journey in a desperate quest for refuge and survival.
Performed with newly-created, long-string wood-carved marionettes and silhouette animation, this wordless play explores themes of displacement, exile, and the importance of solidarity and friendship in caring for our Earth and her living creatures.
Its atmospheric, original soundscore features exotic sound effects and rare percussive instruments.
