Polka and Theatr Iolo
Tidy | Taclus
Based on the illustrated children’s book by Emily Gravett
Co-created by Lee Lyford, Lucy Rivers & Rachael Canning
Pete the badger likes everything to be neat and tidy: the flowers, the leaves, even the other animals. But, when autumn comes, he gets a little bit carried away with cleaning up the forest and accidently destroys his own home!
Based on the much-loved children’s book by author and illustrator, Emily Gravett, Tidy is a gentle but cautionary tale about the value of the world around us and what happens if we don’t look after it.
With beautiful puppets, original music and a touch of silliness, this playful story will delight young audiences, as it explores how everyone needs a little bit of wild chaos in their lives.
Age guidance: 3-7 years old
