Percy Pengelly and the Wibble-Wobble is back! Join the adventure in Percy’s Big Top at Coronation Park, Helston this Easter! Featuring familiar Cousin Jack's faces from our much-loved stage adaptation of The Mousehole Cat, and directed by Helston-based, Guy Watson.
“This is family theatre designed to be enjoyed by adults and children of all ages, in fact the company is very proud that many adults attend its performances without children!” Guy says, “Family theatre really should be high-quality performances that can be enjoyed by absolutely everyone. We believe that you are never too old or young to lose yourself in new and imaginative worlds! Our work is not your average “hello boys and girls...” style offering and is specifically designed for the whole family to enjoy together - we create our own community for just over an hour where old friends sit with new friends to share a heart-warming story.”
Amazing show today. We laughed so much and the kids had great smiles on their faces the whole time! Audience comment 2023
