Travelling Trousers

Touring 2004 - 2005

Travelling Trousers

Travelling Trousers - the show that everyone is talking about!

When Jake and Peggy bring their washing to the launderette and find all the machines full, they pass the time by comparing holiday stories. But as the pair grow more competitive, the stories become more fantastical, and remarkable things start to happen.

Anything and everything is possible - you may even discover where all your missing socks have gone!

Travelling Trousers is an imaginative and fantastic kaleidoscope of visual fantasy, full of inventiveness and humour, mask and puppetry, songs and music brought to you by the RHUBARB THEATRE COMPANY.
Directed by Rachael Savage, Music by Janie Armour.

A show for 5+ and their families.

Travelling Trousers will be touring around schools and theatres starting in June 2004. If you interested in booking the show please contact Rhubarb Theatre.
