Sir Moustache Bristleby and the Ed-Splorers is a thrilling, interactive, storytelling theatre show for children and family audiences featuring shadow puppetry and live music!
Sir Moustache and Co. have travelled the world exploring exotic lands and having many marvellous adventures along the way. Though they arrived here quite by accident- there’s nothing these three love more than a captive audience, and each has a tale more exhilarating and far-fetched than the last.

Produced by: Charlotte Hastings and Company.

Based on the myths and legends of the Scottish Selkie, Yugen Puppet Company tells the comic tale of a lonely fisherman, falling in love with a seal and how in matters of love, things don’t always go according to plan. Using hand crafted puppets and striking shadow silhouettes, with music from the past, Yugen puppet Company puts its own twist on this, usually tragic, Scottish fairy tale.
