Lunabug Theatre

Travel back 100 years to the battle fields of the First World War, when pigeons saved lives by flying vital messages behind enemy lines. This is the incredible true story of one of those birds, who became known as 'Cher Ami'.

First there was an egg and in that egg was a tiny little pigeon. The pigeon hatched and grew and learnt to fly. But soon the call came. This young bird was growing in a time of terrible war. Every man was needed to fight, and every pigeon was needed too.

Charmingly inventive puppets, original live music and delightfully daft characters combine to uncover a remarkable historical story.
