Six Long Legs by Hopeful Monster

Part of Manipulate Arts’ Captivate Programme

Why do bees dance? How do flies track time? How do insects experience the world?

Theatre company Hopeful Monster hold a magnifying glass to miniature worlds in a show for ages 5+. Three performers crawl into a cast of characters, using puppetry and playful objects. With help from a young nature lover, they uncover important stories about the earth’s insects.

Friday 20 November, 4.30pm & Saturday 21 November, 11.30am
