Silliness abounds in this fun slapstick comedy that will keep the kids giggling throughout. A stern voiceover opens the show. It’s mum. Uh oh. She’s chastising her two dungaree-clad sons about the state of their bedroom. They look sheepish for a second or two then stomp around the stage with […]
Bampot Theatre have brought the best-selling picture book Penguinpig, by author Stuart Spendlow and illustrator Amy Bradley, to the stage for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
