"DNA’s
wonderful blend of classic tales is one of the best children’s
shows touring the UK" - Barney Jeavons, The West End
Centre, Aldershot
A baby chick is born and thinks the
sky is falling down. On the way to tell the King, she meets
Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky & Turkey Lurkey, but there's
a shocking surprise! Chicken Licken grows up to be the Little
Red Hen and asks her friends to help her make bread, but no
one wants to play! Mixed into this recipe of food, puppets
and music is the story of Little Red Hen and the sly Foxy
Loxy. Will she outwit him and save her stuffing?
This one-man show is a trilogy of
classic tales from the Ladybird books - Chicken Licken, The
Little Red Hen and The Fox and the Hen. Starting as a baking
demonstration, the show rapidly becomes the adventures of
a growing chick and her encounters with a hungry fox.
This show uses shadow and rod puppetry
and has an original musical score by Jon Owen.

Family Workshop
A special workshop for early years, to extend
their participation, and aid audience development and family learning.
The Chicken Licken performance can be accompanied
by a simple shadow puppet workshop. The kids cut their favourite
characters from the show out of card.
If it's a chicken they bring it to life with
a magic feather. If it's a pig it gets a pipe cleaner curly tale.
They make a cellophane window in the creature, tape on a bendy straw
and hey presto! It's a shadow puppet!
They get to try out their creations on the
actual stage set, two by two, in a 'Parade of Poultry' with music
from the show as the others applaud.
The workshop session lasts for approximately
40mins and can be held with up to 25 children with adult support.
All materials supplied.
