The Hug – Long Nose Puppets in association with Applause Rural Touring

Based on the heart-warming and funny book 'The Hug' by Eoin McLaughlin and Polly Dunbar. Starring a Hedgehog and a Tortoise both in search of a restorative hug. Facing many rejections along the way, they meet a rather scary badger, an obsessive squirrel who knows A LOT about nuts, a fabulous fox and an owl who is trying hard to be wise. A tale of hope, empathy and acceptance. 
Set to Tom Gray's beautiful and witty music, the audience are invited on a journey full of fun, laughter and love...and at the end, a very special hug from our puppets. 
Running time 45 mins plus meet the puppets. This children's performance is perfect for 2-7 year old's and is brought to you in association with Applause Rural Touring.
