Tiny and Tall Productions takes Julia Donaldson and Sara Ogilvie’s beloved children’s book The Detective Dog on UK tour.
Tiny and Tall Productions are heading on a UK tour with a stage adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Sara Ogilvie’s best-selling children’s book The Detective Dog, using creative captions and British Sign Language to make the show accessible to deaf children and their families. Opening in Harrogate, this charming tale of a dog with an extraordinary snout will thrill audiences of all ages with incredible puppetry, heartwarming music and magical scent technology!
Enchanting families across the UK, the production will star Maia Ayling (Thimble Theatre; Tit for Tat), Amy Murray, (My Angry Vagina, Edinburgh Deaf Festival; Red Aphrodite, Edinburgh Deaf Festival) and Hannah Tudge (Magic in Christopher, British Theatre Challenge; Stacey and Rose, Liverpool Fringe Festival).
The Detective Dog is a fast-paced celebration of books, reading, libraries and the powerful, heart-warming relationship between a little boy and his rather special dog. It follows the story of young owner Peter’s very special furry friend with an ever-sniffing nose. Brought to life using innovative puppetry, families can follow Nell and Peter on a sleuth’s journey as they uncover the culprit of a mysterious book disappearance at Peter’s school. The show will feature joyful rhymes and toe-tapping beats accompanying the characters as they race across town on their quest.
Award-winning children’s book The Detective Dog is written by Julia Donaldson CBE (The Gruffalo, 1999; Room On The Broom, 2001; A Squash And A Squeeze, 1993) and illustrated by Sara Ogilvie (Dogs Don’t Do Ballet, 2010; The Worst Princess, 2012; Sir Lilypad, 2015). Both author and illustrator are renowned for inspiring, popular rhyming stories for children, that will be brought to life in Tiny and Tall Productions’ exciting new stage adaptation.
This engaging production celebrates books and the magic of reading in an inclusive and accessible performance.
