The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea… Join Owl and Pussy Cat as they set sail on a nonsense adventure across the high seas, armed with only some honey, some money and a runcible spoon! Along the way they meet the curious Piggy Wig, the Turkey who lives on the hill, and the strangest looking tree you’ve ever seen. But will Owl and Pussy Cat find their way through this topsy-turvy world? Packed with silly songs, babbling puppets and smaller-than-life characters, this absurd hogwash of nonsense brings Edward Lear’s classic poem to life.

All performances include integrated British Sign Language, creative captions and
