Richmond gains a theatrical Pet Monster

Blunderbus Theatre Company are visiting Richmond's Georgian Theatre Royal on Saturday, October 3, at 2.00pm with its new show My Pet Monster and Me.

The comedy features has lots of fun for little monsters, and their grown-ups too, in the tale of farmer's daughter Sophie Bucket who spends all of her time day-dreaming, but most of her time alone. One day, Sophie finds an egg and hatches out a cuddly, toothy, burpy, baby Monster. And so, the fun begins down on the farm as Sophie and her new friend George have adventures involved puppetry, music and songs.

Blunderbus was established in 1998 and has been creating enchanting theatrical experiences and providing lasting memories for children and their families all around the world.

The company performs for morethan 200,000 children each year, touring to theatres, arts centres, schools and festivals across the UK and to the exotic climes of Malaysia, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore with critically-acclaimed shows such as How to Catch a Star, The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark and Giraffes Can’t Dance.

Artistic director Bill Davies says: “We are very proud of this new original story, and we know that our friends in Richmond are going to be as excited as we are when they get to see this beautiful and funny show.”
