A Derby Theatre, Hiccup Theatre and Polka Theatre Production
The Owl and The Pussycat
Saturday 5th December 2026 – Saturday 9th January 2027
Along the way they meet the curious Piggy Wig, the Turkey who lives on the hill, and the strangest looking tree you’ve ever seen. But will Owl and Pussy Cat find their way through this topsy-turvy world?
Packed with silly songs, babbling puppets and smaller-than-life characters, this absurd hogwash of nonsense brings Edward Lear’s classic poem to life.
From the creators of Chicken Licken and The Tortoise and the Hare, this enchanting re-telling combines puppetry, live music and beautiful storytelling to invite you into a wonderfully whimsical world of rhyme, rhythm and ridiculousness – perfect for ages 3+ and their grown-ups.
All performances include integrated British Sign Language, creative captions and integrated audio description.
