About this event
Unfortunately, Jeremiah Johnson is currently lost somewhere in the jungles of Africa, so he has handed the running of the park over to his inexperienced nephew Craig… and things don’t quite go as planned.
Expect to meet curious creatures of all shapes and sizes: from performing fleas, skateboarding snails and gymnastic gerbils to irritable alligators, over-excited elephants, and a very intelligent orang-utan!
Learn about how animals evolved, how their amazing adaptations help them survive in the wild, and how animals can help us learn more about ourselves. After all, we’re all related if you go back far enough!
Using puppets, comedy, slapstick and live music – plus lots of amazing natural history facts – Squashbox Theatre will uncover the mysteries of the animal kingdom.
(No animals were harmed in the making of this show. But several puppets were mildly traumatised.)
For children aged 5+ and their families (younger children welcome) Curious Creatures is 50 mins long.
“Curious Creatures is jam-packed with pretty much everything; facts are given to us without fear of overload and laughs are plentiful.”
“Just to let you know that it’s now October and the Chicken of Doom is still making appearances at our house. Pictures, stories, homework: he’s everywhere!”
