Why are animals the way they are?

A long time ago Rudyard Kipling wrote the Just So Stories for his own children, about where he imagined animals’ trunks and humps and throats and things came from. Now, more than a hundred years later, the SJT tells you its own version of these famous tales. Well, that’s what should be happening, anyway.

When things aren’t going quite as planned an intrepid trio takes on the task using whatever comes to hand. The result will surprise and delight us all. From the imagination of one of the country’s best known creators of family theatre, Vicky Ireland, this brand new version is told with the help of puppets and original music.
