WOW! Said the Owl
A Little Angel Theatre production
Based on the book written and illustrated by Tim Hopgood
Aimed at ages 2 - 5
Explore the wonderful world of colours with a curious little owl, who is determined to stay awake and see what daylight brings.
From the warm, pink glow of dawn through to a day filled with the bright colours of green leaves, blue sky, white clouds and, finally, a stunning rainbow – ‘WOW!’ But despite the beauty of the daytime world, the little owl decides that the night-time stars are the most beautiful of all.
WOW! Said the Owl, the acclaimed children’s book by award-winning author, Tim Hopgood, is brought to life through a blend of beautiful storytelling, puppetry and music. Directed by Joy Haynes, this show will delight and excite very young audiences.
Age guidance
WOW! Said the Owl is aimed at ages 2-5. All ages will appreciate this beautiful production which explores the beauty of the daytime world and all of its vibrant colours, building on each scene from the book.
