About the show
Flyaway Katie
Saturday 7th March, 11:30am
By the makers of Shoe Baby, Penguin and Arthur’s Dream Boat, Long Nose Puppets return to The Horton with Flyaway Katie.
Katie is all alone and feeling grey. The birds in the picture on her wall look so colourful-if only Katie could be as bright as them, who knows what might happen?
The show is bursting with colour, movement and surprises, with puppets of varying scales acting the story.
The show is aimed at 2–7-year-olds and will be 35 mins of pure joy followed by 15 mins ‘meet the puppets’.
“Magical and beautiful” The Guardian

Featuring
Long Nose Puppet Theatre
Long Nose was co-founded in 2006 by Katherine Morton and Polly Dunbar; they studied illustration at Brighton University where they often worked together creating characters and stories. Katherine and Polly make the puppets out of anything and everything: latex, wood, found objects, socks, old umbrellas and the odd lampshade. The puppets range in size from handheld rod puppets to full body costumes. Polly Dunbar is a well known children’s author and illustrator best know for her books Penguin and the Tilly and Friends series. Long Nose is unique in that Polly has a completely hands on roll in devising the shows and making the puppets, therefore the final productions are as close to the books as is possible. Polly is the daughter of Joyce Dunbar who wrote Shoe Baby and Pat A Cake Baby. Their music is composed by Tom Gray of the band Gomez. Tom also co-composed the music for the Cbeebies series based on Polly’s books Tilly and Friends. Ant Morton, actor and puppeteer is part of the creative team, he helps devise the shows and breathes life in to the puppets through skilled movement and humour. Ant takes the puppets out on the road along with our team of talented puppeteers.
