High kicks, huge twists and brand new fairytale endings.
It’s time to tell the REAL story of The PEA and the Princess, one which no one has ever heard before.
Leap into a high velocity adventure, into the world of a Ninja Princess on a mega-mission, a practical Prince concocting the best inventions, a Queen with a slightly worrying crown obsession, and a very green baddy indeed.
Featuring super catchy songs, some familiar fairytale faces and a brand-new twist-in-the-tale, this a story that you definitely wouldn’t want to sleep on!

I Want My Hat Back Trilogy
★★★★★
"Hysterically funny and stunningly imaginative."

Time Out

"Impressive theatricality. A charming cardboard adaptation of Jon Klassen’s picture books."
The Stage
A bear has lost his hat. What if he never sees it again? WAIT! He has seen his hat.
A fish has stolen a hat. And he’ll probably get away with it. Probably.
Two turtles have found a hat. The hat looks good on both of them. But there are two turtles. And there is only one hat.
Following their hit digital series on Little Angel Theatre’s YouTube channel, and a sold out run at their venue, Ian Nicholson and Sam Wilde are back, showcasing their trademark cardboard design across the UK on the first ever tour of I Want My Hat Back Triology!
Jon Klassen’s beloved books, ‘I Want My Hat Back’, ‘This is Not My Hat’ and ‘We Found A Hat’, have found a new life of their own live on stage. All your favourites including Bear, Little Fish and the Turtles will be making an appearance in this one-of-a-kind trilogy.
The Snowflake
Wherever the wind takes us, we all find a place to land…
Based on the timeless Christmas story by Benji Davies, The Snowflake tells the tale of a snowflake, a little girl and her Pappie, who are all longing for their own special place in the world.
Unwrap the magic at Polka next festive season and find out how everyone can find their way to shine like a star!
Our beloved festive production offers the perfect introduction to theatre for younger audiences.
