Flyaway Katie
Long Nose Puppets
So high in the scrumptious stakes that it gives cheesecake a run for its money, 'Flyaway Katie' is an utterly delightful puppet show, based on Polly Dunbar's book of the same name, and brought to the Fringe by the wonderful Long Nose Puppets. Children and parents alike were captivated by the charming tale of Katie, a little girl who feels very drab but is helped to achieve colour and a fantastic end result by a variety of characters, including an extremely laid-back caterpillar. Tom Gray's music is engaging and the puppets are just wonderful, particularly the sparkly sunflowers that suddenly burst open. This is a true treat that has been lovingly crafted and proves that Long Nose Puppets are ones to watch.
Upstairs at Three and Ten, 17 - 18 May, 12:30pm, £6.00 (free for kids on laps), fpp 28
