The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse

By Puppet Theatre Barge

These two famous cousins visit each other and both experience exciting new sights and sounds. The Town Mouse must face the wild countryside, while the Country Mouse watches for the house cat and learns to navigate the noisy city traffic. They both end up much wiser as a result of their exciting adventures. A delight for young and old, told with music, songs and rod puppets.

Duration 1 hour including a short interval

Age recommendation 3 - 7

This show has a storyline that can be followed and enjoyed by 3-4-year olds including some nursery rhymes and fun visuals but also uses some slightly more complex ideas, humour, dialogue and song lyrics that older children might get more out of. There is nothing really scary in this show but it does use dramatic music and lighting, for example the theatre will go dark during the performance which some children might find unsettling and the characters may face some perils. Please have a look at the trailer for the show to get an idea of the tone.

All ages are welcome at our shows and age ranges can only be a rough guide, but please bear in mind that The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse was not specially designed for under-threes. A show aimed at two-year olds would have some differences – those shows are carefully made to hold their attention for the duration, and not to be unsettling for them. If you do bring under threes to the show, we ask that you take them out if they become upset or distracted so as not to effect the enjoyment of the rest of the audience.
