Event Information

Duration: 45 minutes

Open your mind and step inside Edward Lear’s brilliantly anarchic world of nonsense rhymes and limericks. Embrace the silliness, dive into a sea of words, an absurd alphabet soup of poppycock and gobbledygook…

Edward has lost his beloved cat; Foss. Tired out from writing his famous Book of Nonsense, he falls asleep at his desk. As he dreams, he journeys through magical lands meeting a host of fantastical creatures along the way.

In Sea Legs’ 21^stanniversary year production, meet celebrated Lear characters, the Quangle Wangle, the Jumblies, the Fissgigious Fish and the greatest literary love story since the Dish ran away with the Spoon: the legendary Owl and the Pussycat.

Told with a cast of fabulous tabletop puppets, an innovative stage set and a brilliant musical soundtrack, featuring six new songs to Lear’s much celebrated poems and limericks.

For children aged 0 – 100+
