Join us this Halloween when one performer and a flock of shadow puppets tell a heartwarming story about friends, foolishness and flying away.

Susan is a miserable, bad tempered old witch who doesn’t like company. She lives in a nest, flies around scaring people and eats biscuits! The last thing she wants in her life is a giant EGG…should she have it for breakfast or hatch it? And what will she do once it hatches?

The Birds have plenty of advice, but Susan decides to ignore them and go it alone. 

Inspired by the book “The Witch’s Egg” by Madeleine Edmondson.

After the performance, the audience are invited to stay and play with the shadow puppets. In a simple open-ended session, children and their families can discover the fun in playing with shadows and re-telling the story in their own words.

Running time: 50 minutes
Suitable for ages 3 - 9 years
