This is a comical show weaving the song ‘Old McDonald’ with the story of the Three Pigs. The pigs get fed up singing ‘eieio’ and move out of the barn to the other side of the farm. They build their own houses only to be visited by a hungry wolf. Luckily, our pigs have planned ahead and have enough dog toys to play with. This colourful, solo show is ideal for younger children, playing from 3 years old and up. The children help identify farm produce, sing, take part as animals and rear pigs.

This is an old story that takes place in a forgotten tattered library. The caretaker arrives to check the place over. He talks to the audience about his love of books. While cleaning, the caretaker finds an old Big Book (6ft). He discovers the story has gone; all the words in it have been washed away. So he starts to think of a story. The battered pages are all different colours. He uses the colours left on the pages to suggest things that may have been in the story. The caretaker falls into the book and is transformed into “Book Man”. “Book Man” has a problem – he needs to find the rainbow that ends his story. This leads us to turn the pages; on each page we meet a new character from the water cycle.

The only way to help Alice is to get the goats to save her. This comical performance shows the fun to be had from playing with traditional tales and joining them together. The audience will eagerly want to help and get involved by miming teacups, teapots and even one becoming a Troll (belly provided).
