Puss in Boots

Presented by Lyngo Theatre.

The classic furry tale is brought to life with clever effects.

Would you trust a talking cat?

Using smoke and mirrors and hidden trapdoors we’ll show you how this sure-footed feline fools both the King and the Ogre to take his master all the way to the top. With a host of puppets, a working windmill and an avalanche of fruit and nuts come and see this classic furry tail, it’s the cat’s whiskers!
