The Witch and the Egg

One performer and a flock of shadow puppets tell an engaging and heartwarming story about friendship, laughter and … flying the nest.

Witch does what witches do best… live in a nest, fly around scaring people and eating biscuits.  She’s a miserable, bad tempered old witch who doesn’t like company, the last thing she wants in her life is an giant EGG!

Should she have it for breakfast or hatch it? And what will she do once it hatches? Her neighbours have plenty of advice for her but Witch decides to ignore them and go it alone.

Humour, audience engagement and shadow puppetry tell the story of a lonely old witch who finds an egg which takes her on an adventure that changes her life forever.
