144 – The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck by Quantum Theatre

The Children's Literature Podcast

Co-hosts T.Q. Townsend and Chloë Townsend (and the rest of the family) saw a very funny musical production of The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck put on by Quantum Theatre at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. This was NOT a show that was just for kids. Parents were laughing just as much as the children, and the creative use of minimal costumes and props gave the play the familiar feel of the kind of acting that children naturally do.

One thing we forgot to mention in the review is how awesome the programs were! Usually play programs just have the synopsis and cast and such, but this one had a lot of interesting information for the kids to read as well as a bunch of fun activities to keep them occupied while they waited for the show to start. Never thought I’d review a play program, but I am pleased to have that as a first.
