Visit the incredible world of Stuff and Nonsense.
Making bread is hard work, but it would be a lot easier if the lazy farmyard animals got off their reclining sofas and lent a hand! Join our plucky little hen as she finds her own way to get stuff done.
An energetic adaptation of this much-loved story, featuring a breath-taking combination of brilliant puppetry, live music and unforgettable comedy. Stuff and Nonsense are well-known for their clever, captivating storytelling, ingenious stagings and ability to make us all laugh, returning to Polka after a hugely successful run of The Gingerbread Man last year.
"Truly one of the best performances I have seen. Full enjoyed by all 3 generations"

Age Suggestion - Suitable for all the family (recommended for ages 3-10 years)
Polka Theatre creates a range of productions to be enjoyed by children from 0-12 years. Whilst all children may attend our productions, we feel that this story is best suited to the suggested audience. This may be due to the themes or presentation style. We encourage you to consider this when booking tickets.
