Cat Who Ran, The Looking For YoghurtCat Who Ran, The
Synopsis:
Ran is the smallest kitten of the litter and he's just not up to scratch - he can't jump, hide or pounce as well as his siblings. So he trains tirelessly to try and improve his cat skills. In the course of his training he forms an unlikely friendship with a fish. This friendship is put to the test when all the kittens are asked to prove their skills by catching the fish in the pond. What will Ran do - remain faithful to his friend or follow his cat instincts and eat him? A fable about friendship, loyalty and being true to your nature.

Top of PageLooking For Yoghurt
Synopsis:
Norang lives in a big city and has lost her friend - a stray cat called Yoghurt - who has disappeared into a dangerous building site just as the sun is setting. Should she give up on her friend or take her chances and follow the cat into a forbidden world full of monsters and machines? She takes a deep breath and squeezes under the fence. . . Behind the fence, Norang meets two other children and together they explore a strange, shadowy, enchanted world. It is the beginning of a fantastic adventure in which they overcome fears, dig for Brazil and climb above the moon. Looking For Yoghurt is a unique collaboration between performers and artists from the UK, Japan and Korea, bringing their cultures, skills and languages together. Featuring energetic physical performances, original live music and comic invention this funny and moving play is inspired by the imagination and wisdom of children, their fears for the world and their hopes for a brighter future. A theatrical treat for all ages.
