The Ideal Gnome Expedition

 Musical play by David Wood
Director: Judith Daniel
After rescuing a toy duck from the dustbin in their back yard, Mr Fisher and Mr Wheeler, two temporarily nomadic garden gnomes, decide to venture into the big, wide world. Their objective is to find a holiday island, just like the "Big Ones", but being unused to the hazards of the town, they almost don't make it. Although nothing turns out quite as expected, they all agree that it is the best holiday they've ever had.

Settings: A back yard; an alley; an adventure playground; a street; a traffic island.

The ‘Ideal Gnome Expedition’ is suitable for children from four to nine years.

Advance bookings available from City Centre Box Office on 0113 224 3801
