Roll up, roll up, for the most ‘magnifical’, ‘tremendible’ and ‘fantasticulous’ experience in town!
EVER wanted to count a Decapus’s legs? Or wondered what a Whistling Pank eats?
Would you like to catch a glimpse of the fabled ‘Massive Paw’? Or lick a Tresillian Toad?
Then you’ve come to the right place!
Dr Longitude and his team of ‘experts’ are here to guide you through a puppet-packed, ludicrously lyrical and magically musical tour of the Imaginary Menagerie’s finest exhibits.
From the acclaimed, award-winning creators of The Terrible Infants, Alice’s Adventures Underground and The Trench, Les Enfants Terribles return to Edinburgh with their most silliest, fun and entertaining family shows to date suitable for big kids and small grown-ups.
Featuring puppetry, music, comedy and physical theatre, The Menagerie is not to be missed!
Written by Anthony Spargo and Oliver Lansley a published playwright who also works extensively in television – co-creating/writing ITV2’s ‘FM’ and numerous other projects, including ‘WHITES’ which was shown on BBC2 and starred Alan Davies.
He was named a ‘broadcast hotshot’ by Broadcast magazine and won the ‘Multi-talented’ award at Channel 4’s 4-Talent Awards.
