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.

"Brilliant puppets and cleverly discussed issues." - Age 43
