This classic children's story is transformed into a wonderfully catchy musical, with a clear moral, and a twist in the tale. Chicken Licken is honest and straightforward - And there's more than one creature in the Wild Wood who doesn't like that at all... When Chicken Licken is struck one day - not by a brilliant idea, but by an acorn; without fully understanding what hit her, Chicken Licken's response is to panic& A panic which sets in motion a series of events that no-one could foresee. There are some creatures who manipulate the situation for their own purposes... and there are those who would take advantage of the terrified creatures in the wood. Is Chicky brave enough to stand up and admit her mistake? Meet Chicken Licken, Ducky Lucky, Turkey Lurkey, Goose Loose, and the beguiling but slightly sinister Foxy Loxy, amongst others. You may be surprised at who are the good guys; and who are the villains!

Aesop was a Greek poet. Born into a life of slavery, he won his liberty as a reward for his learning and wit. However, his sharp tongue, and sense of justice eventually led to his downfall. Maybe he should have paid more attention to his own fables! His wit, his wisdom, and the subtle ways he challenged and encouraged us live on today. A long, long, LONG, LONG time ago, there lived a mama frog and her son Little Green Frog. Little Green Frog was very defiant of his mother and didn't listen to her, which greatly hurt her feelings. Whatever Mama Frog would say, Little Green Frog would do exactly the opposite. Her deep sighs shook the trees and her tears would drop into the nearby stream. Little Green Frog didn't care; he laughed, and said to himself, "Nobody can tell me what to do. I will do whatever I want, my way. If you tell me to do one way, I will surely do the opposite." But one day, Little Green Frog gets a very big shock, and realises that maybe his Mama was right all along& but is it too late? A wonderful story, using puppetry, music and fun to help us realise that wise words are worth listening to!

A classic tale, carefully crafted, and cooked to perfection! Succulently served with a selection of wonderfully catchy songs, a colourful collection of crazy characters. Seasoned with some valuable lessons to learn. This tasty tale - the one you know so well - is presented, especially for the younger audience. Once upon a time there was a little old woman and a little old man. They decided to make a gingerbread man. They rolled out the dough, and cut out the shape, put raisins for his eyes, peppermints for his teeth, and icing for the hair. Then he was put in the oven to cook right through. But the Little Old Man was impatient. He just could not wait& it smelled so good! He opened the oven door - a moment too soon - to take a peek; before the Gingerbread Man was cooked right through... And as he opened the door, out jumped the Gingerbread Man! Can they catch him? Can ANYONE catch him? You'll just have to wait and see!

Based (with permission) on the story: Moonbird written by Joyce Dunbar, illustrated by Jane Ray. Moonchild was blowing bubbles. Big, pearly moon bubbles they were, floating off into outer space. Some burst upon the spikes of stars. Some floated all the way to earth and burst wherever they landed. One bubble pops on an Earth baby - Little Prince Orla - and surrounds him in silence. He can no longer hear the sounds of the earth. His parents are devastated when they realize that their baby cannot hear or speak, but hope comes from the mysterious Moonbird who takes Orla on a mystical journey to the magical Moongarden, where marvellous creatures teach him how to speak with his hands and listen with his eyes. But will his parents understand him? What is the secret that opens their hearts and their minds? Blending Asian aesthetics of mask and movement with western theatre styles, and combining the spoken word with sign and song - this production adapted from Joyce Dunbar's beautifully written story about deafness will captivate you from the start, whether you are four or eighty-four. And maybe you too will learn to listen with your eyes&

Adapted from "The Emperor's Nightingale" by Hans Christian Andersen. Money and power cannot buy happiness; and sometimes life's greatest treasures come in a very plain wrapping. In this beautiful story, an Emperor with all wealth and power at his command is amazed when he finds true joy in the simple song of a small brown nightingale. It brings him something that none of his money or influence can provide. However, things get complicated when an imitation nightingale is brought to the Emperor. The Emperor finds out to his cost that you can't replace the truth with an imitation, however good it may seem - and it's up to the most unlikely team of a kitchen maid and a wild bird to save the Emperor and the whole Empire! This Asian themed family-centred musical features a fusion of both Western and Asian techniques, interweaving live action, puppetry and tuneful original songs.

You don't reach Serendip by plotting a course for it. You have to set out in good faith for somewhere else and lose your way& Going all the way back to the dawn of storytelling, The Secret of Laughter is a fascinating, funny, physical exploration of the way we sometimes find wonderful things when we least expect. Inspired by the VERY FIRST folk tale ever recorded, the story of The Three Princes of Serendip, and how they went on a quest for one thing, and on the way found another - even better than the first. (The original story inspired the creation of a brand new word in the English dictionary - "Serendipity" which means "A happy accident", or "an unlooked for discovery".

The ancient texts tell of a time long ago when people held great knowledge and magic was everywhere. In such an age, the moon was esteemed and revered for its powers. When the full moon rose and the dragon constellation was at its highest point in the sky, the moon's bright beams would shine with a special magical light. The legend says that stories told under the Dragon moon will never be forgotten. A marvellous and mischievous collection of Asian Folk Tales, carefully selected from many stories - from China, India, Pakistan, Singapore and Japan - both well known and seldom-heard is playfully transformed with live music, and energetic physical theatre. Each tale is told in a different style, with elements of Noh of Japan, Classical Indian Dance, Chinese opera and Bollywood blended with broad slapstick fun and energy. There is lively action and beautifully crafted stories for the younger ones, and multi-layered performance with some interesting morals and questions to challenge and engage older ones too.
