A Cubic Feet and Little Angel Theatre

The Dong with a Luminous Nose

-

A Cubic Feet and Little Angel Theatre co-production, in association with Monstro Theatre

Based on the poem by Edward Lear.

Edward is a bit of an oddball. A shy and troubled boy, he is always watching the horizon, waiting for something to happen. Then one day “the Jumblies” arrive, and his life is turned upside down… then shaken about a bit… and then a bit more!

With a huge and colourful cast of abstract and figurative puppets, this absurd take on Lear’s nonsense classic explores that difficult age between being a child and becoming an adult.

Dancing chairs, a troublesome telephone and a swarm of shape-shifters all play their part in this tale of a lonely boy who has difficulty facing up to the facts.

Brought to you by the designer/director and composer partnership behind Little Angel Theatre’s Alice in Wonderland and The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me.

"This is a deliciously visceral experience that leaves the young audience with their skin tingling and their curiosity piqued"
