Dogs Don’t Do Ballet

By Little Angel Theatre

Part of the ‘What If…?’ Festival Programme.

 

A Little Angel Theatre Production 

Based on the book by Anna Kemp with illustrations by Sara Ogilvie, published by Simon and Schuster Ltd.

Biff is not like ordinary dogs. He likes moonlight. And music. And walking on his tiptoes. You see, Biff doesn’t think he’s a dog, Biff thinks he’s a ballerina… The sublime and the ridiculous combine in this hilarious story of a small dog with a big personality and even bigger dreams, brought to life using beautiful puppets, well-loved ballet music and dazzling comedy

"This is a rollicking romp of a show that also manages to subtly pose questions about difference and stereotyping... This is one children's show where the adults are guaranteed to laugh as hard as the kids (and probably more)."
Rebecca Taylor, Time Out *****
"If you see only one children’s show this month then it should be this witty, charming, engaging piece of
miniature theatre. It’s billed for age two to six, but there is, please note, no upper age limit….."
Susan Elkin, The Stage
"If you only take your children to one show make sure that it is ‘Dogs Don’t Do Ballet’ ….. the production is
enchanting, hilarious, expertly performed and suitable for all ages. The combination of music, comedic
storytelling, puppetry and warm performances is an absolute winner."
Bryony Hegarty, N16 Magazine
