children-and-family

The exciting tale of a young boy, his friends the Duck, Bird and Cat and........ the WOLF

about the production

Peter is a fearless, mischievous boy who lives with his Grandfather in an old cottage near the forest. His Grandfather has warned Peter many times of the dangers of playing near the forest because a Wolf lives near by. Peter isn’t bothered by these warnings, and he goes out of the gate to see if he can find his animal friends. After a great deal of fun, the wolf arrives. Is Peter worried, not a bit? Find out how this clever boy with his animal friends triumphs in this classic tale. Funded by The Arts Council of Great Britain

The show appeals to all ages, and abilities

Peter and the Wolf beautifully presented and performed by Ken Haines, delighted two full houses of children in the Mill Studio at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in April 2016. We would not hesitate to re-book this lovely show next year. Ken has presented many shows in the Mill Studio- they are always a joy for our audience and staff.

Brian Kirk, Manager Yvonne Arnaud Theatre

We have enjoyed your puppet show immensely ! The students in our school can display very challenging behaviour and have very limited attention span but they were spellbound during your show ! The beauty of the puppets and scenery and the music created a magical show ! Also we appreciated your demonstration of puppet making and the chance for the students to be hands on ! ( even including those students who were not able to enter the hall ..) We hope to see you again Many thanks

Carmen Morley, Sheiling Ringwood School
