A human wearing an octopus costume

About

A puppet show for families with children age 7+ about friendship and its power to change the world. Includes a talking rucksack, philosophical fish, radical hermit crabs AND A MASSIVE OCTOPUS.
This creatively bonkers visual feast is a great way to look at big issues with little people. Guaranteed to bring a smile.

"It provoked many thoughts about the current world refugee and climate situations." - Jake, Age 11
"A wonderfully imaginative show with a strong message." - Age 40
"Brilliant puppets and cleverly discussed issues." - Age 43
"Great fun for kids & oldies!" - Age 67
