about the production
In the Lands of the North where the black rocks stand guard against the cold sea, the Men of the Northlands sit around their great log fires and they tell a tale . . . of Noggin the Nog! These classic stories created by Postgate & Firmin are playfully retold in a new piece of theatre for Children, Families and Fans. Accompanied by the brave and mighty Thor Nogson and the great green bird Graculus, we go North on a journey of adventure & discovery to battle the fearsome Ice Dragon and the dastardly deeds of Nogbad the Bad!

“An expertly acted, beautifully realised stage play with the warm charm of a bedtime story.” The Nogs are a charmingly mild-mannered bunch of Vikings. They sound a bit like Terry Jones, they look a bit like him too. Except for Noggin the Nog, their young leader who is handsome in a Viking sort of way….It’s a close call as to who enjoyed it more, the children or their grandparents.
“Utterly charming, ….., this is a hugely skilful yet deceptively simple production, which engages with all ages”.
“With lovely comic touches, a cast of seasoned actors brings the Noggin the Nog stories vividly to life. [They] truly know their craft. Whether they’re narrating, using puppetry, dramatic tension or (as is the case most of the time) comic characterisation, it’s all done with flair and attention to detail . . . a warm, witty homage to a Viking who has managed to entertain children for more than 50 years.”
This is visually bold story telling.
Please call, it really depends on the size of the venue and its location, we are genuinely touring to all scales and not just saying that in case a big theatre calls. We are starting at the Rose Kingston but we are also playing village halls.
