Tidy
17 February to 18 February
About Tidy
Based on the illustrated children’s book by Emily GravettCo-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 accidentally 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.
