FOLLOWING a West End run Scamp Theatre bring Tiddler And Other Terrific Tales by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler to Theatre Royal Winchester on Tuesday June 7 and Wednesday June 8.

Is Tiddler telling the truth? Will Monkey find his Mummy? Will George The Giant make lots of friends? Can the old lady really squash and squeeze all those animals in?

Tiddler and other Terrific Tales weaves together live music, puppetry and a whole host of colourful characters from some of the best-loved titles by Julia Donaldson including Tiddler, Monkey Puzzle, The Smartest Giant in Town and A Squash and a Squeeze.

Funky moves, toe tapping tunes and giggles are guaranteed as audiences are taken under the sea, out on the farm and into the jungle! Tiddler And Other Terrific Tales is the perfect treat for children aged 3 years or more and their families and friends.
