The Witch And The Egg

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.

One performer and a flock of shadow puppets tell an engaging and heartwarming story about friendship, laughter and flying the nest. Inspired by the book The Witch’s Egg by Madeleine Edmondson.

After the performance the audience are invited to stay and play with the shadow puppets. In a simple open ended session, children and their families can discover the fun in playing with shadows and re-telling the story in their own words.
