For ages
3-7
Our accessible and imaginative adaptation of Julia Donaldson’s award winning book, The Detective Dog, features puppetry, song and magical scent technology, bringing the story alive on stage for audiences of all ages.
Whether it’s finding a lost shoe or discovering who did a poo on the new gravel path, Nell’s ever-sniffing nose is always hard at work. So when the books at her owner Peter’s school have disappeared one morning, Detective Dog Nell is ready to sniff out the culprit!
Accessibility
This production sees us exploring new ways of working to create innovative and accessible theatre. The show is accessible to deaf children and their families by using clever dynamic captions and incorporated British Sign Language. We’re working with some brilliant deaf artists to make sure that the show reflects the needs of the deaf community.
