Charlie and Lola's Best Bestest Play
Now booking for 2012
Don't miss everyone's favourite brother and sister, Charlie and Lola, in their extremely everso wonderful stage show! The stars of the hit BBC TV series and books by Lauren Child are brought to life by a magical mix of puppets, live action and music. Will Charlie ever get Lola to sleep, even though she is not sleepy and will not go to bed? It won't be easy - the Tigers want their bedtime milk, the Dancing Dogs have borrowed Lola's pyjamas and Lola thinks there is an ogre hiding in the wardrobe!
"If you've got kids go and see Charlie and Lola's Best Bestest Play. If you haven't, borrow some and go anyway. The hit show is touring the country and it's a genuine delight - indeed it's far more enjoyable for parents than most of the theatre that's aimed at grown-ups these days."
Sunday Express
Charlie and Lola's Best Bestest Play is a delightful puppet show (large-scale puppets) which makes a perfect theatre outing for 3 to 6s. It lasts just over an hour, with an interval, which makes it suitable for even the youngest audience members. The puppets are immediately identifiable from the book illustrations and the TV series and the show is voiced by the child actors behind the TV series. The recorded sound meshes perfectly with the puppetry on stage.
It is performed by a company of 4, touring with CSM and ASM. The simple set comprises a front unit on which the puppets are, for the most part, presented, with a folding structure of flats behind. There's also a star cloth and an overhead projector at the rear.
The show is ideally suited to 300 to 500 seat theatres or larger venues using just stalls/front section.
Charlie and Lola's Best Bestest Play can play under another show or during daytimes with evenings clear for comedians or similar events. It can be 3 shows a day - though not more than 8 in 3 days. We need a playing area not less than 8m wide by 7m deep.
