SWAMP JUICE

Welcome to a swamp like no other. Bickering toads, overbearing fairies and a rather gentle swamp monster. Using mind-blowing shadow puppetry, acclaimed Canadian performer Jeff Achtem brings his astonishing award-winning show about life in a swamp, with a stunning, jaw dropping 3D finale. This made audiences of all ages literally scream the house down, at this years Edinburgh Festival. Yes, it’s that good!

After the stonking success of  Jeff Achtem’s first show, Sticks, Stones, Broken Bones which stormed the UK in 2010, comes the dazzling new show SWAMP JUICE. (some scenes may frighten the under 7s).

 

WINNER Total Theatre Award, Edinburgh 2011
