The interactive performances are highly visual, theatrical storytelling, engaging children with problems, encouraging curiosity and inventive use of children’s STEM knowledge, via two female characters, “Scribble” and “Clipboard”, who are sorting through the recycling when they discover a very unusual egg. Whose is it? And how can we protect the unborn chick?

The show comes to The Dukes Lancaster on Saturday March 25, 11am and 2pm.
