Squashbox: Curious Creatures
Discover the wonders of the animal kingdom with a quirky and ingenious blend of puppetry, storytelling, live music and comedy!
Welcome to the ‘Curious Creatures’ wildlife park, established by Jeremiah Johnson: world-renowned explorer, zoologist and animal collector.
Unfortunately, Jeremiah Johnson is lost somewhere in the jungles of Africa, so he has handed the running of the park over to his inexperienced nephew Craig… and things don’t quite go as planned.
Expect to meet curious creatures of all shapes and sizes: from performing fleas and gymnastic snails to irritable alligators, over-excited elephants, and a very intelligent orang-utan!
Using puppets, comedy, slapstick and live music – plus lots of amazing natural history facts – Squashbox Theatre will uncover the mysteries of the animal kingdom.
Ticket price includes garden entry for the day. Children under 3 go free and all other children need a valid ticket.
