About this event
World-renowned explorer Jeremiah Johnson has handed the running of his animal collection over to his inexperienced nephew Craig… and things don’t quite go as planned.
Expect performing fleas, skateboarding snails, gymnastic gerbils, irritable alligators, over-excited elephants, and a very intelligent orang-utan – all brought to life through Craig Johnson’s brilliant puppetry, storytelling, comedy and live music. You’ll learn amazing facts about how animals evolved and how their adaptations help them survive in the wild. After all, we’re all related if you go back far enough!
Squashbox Theatre’s shows are a much-loved fixture of the Coronation Park summer programme. A former member of Cornwall’s renowned Kneehigh Theatre, Craig combines natural history, slapstick and a gently subversive sense of humour that delights adults just as much as children. Don’t miss one of Cornwall’s finest one-man puppet shows!
