Pleasance
‘It’s fun to have fun, but you have to know how’….and we certainly had tons of fun watching this zany production of Dr Seuss’s much loved tale…
Sally and her brother are somewhat bored at home, before their day is turned upside down and into a madcap adventure with the arrival of a rather camp cat, wearing a very tall hat! A beautifully simple set evocatively recreates the original feel and illustrations of the book. Audiences are immersed in the show, with bubbles filling the air to introduce us to fish, and his exasperation with the siblings and ensuing chaos within the home….when thing one and thing two enter into the fray, things get even wilder ! Our little ones particularly enjoyed the bedlam of the giant balls and getting to play along with the double trouble of thing one and thing two…
A fast paced, slick production, sure to brighten anyone’s morning…smattered with lines from the book and some cute choreography….
Our mini-reviewers said : ‘ I loved playing with the huge bouncy balls and chatting to Thing Two – they were very silly’
