Surprising, heartfelt puppet show, where nature brings friendship and hope.
This surprise filled puppet show, set in a giant pop-up book, tells the story of Mr Bumblegrum. As we turn from one page to the next, this grumbling character goes on a colourful, moving journey through the seasons. Nature tries to cheer him up with tenderness and humour; trees play, the sun swirls, mushrooms laugh and snow falls. As spring arrives Mr Bumblegrum realises he wants friendship again. Can you help blow the stormy clouds away? Will you be his friend?
Delighting audiences young and old. Performed with puppets, animated objects and shadow theatre.
Make your very own Sandbag puppets to take home with the creators of ‘The Story of Mr B’!
"Brave, tragic, compassionate and hilarious by turns, Shake Shake Theatre’s The Story of Mr B lifts its audience into its heart and holds them there. With great humour and a real sense of how the minds of youngsters work, it tells of life, love, forgiveness and regret"
"Families walk away from the show talking about the colours of nature, the funny joy of romance, the sadness of death, the need for people to be open and trusting of one another, the importance of looking a/er nature"
"Shake Shake Theatre plays with puppets, brings objects to life and throws shadows - and of course there are two actors on the stage. A moving story that will delight small and big children"
