The Terrible Infants

Meet Tumb, the boy who eats his mum, Thingummyboy, with a face even his mother forgets, Little Linena, the material girl and of course little Tilly and her terrible tail. Roald Dahl meets Tim Burton in this hugely theatrical, funny, sad, silly, junk-filled, puppetry-packed, dark, delicious, magical piece of performance. Based upon a series of twisted tales, this production blends puppetry, live music and story-telling into a highly sensory theatrical feast suitable for big kids and small grown-ups!
