Roll up roll up roll up… ladies and gentlemen it’s time to join the fantastical Percy Pengelly in his more than marvellous Cornish big top!
Percy returned over Easter 2025! We wibble-wobbled our way through Percy’s tall tale of ups and downs as he searched for a new career in Cornwall. Witnessing his fall from world-famous tightrope walker to super dooper pooper scooper before reaching the giddy heights of fishing port rooftops.
Families found out what the future had in store for Percy Pengelly in our live-action production performed in the round in a beautifully reimagined circus top.
Venue
'Ere, what did you all think of Percy?
“SPLANN!!!!! Stinkingly good!”
“The children were full of it when we got home yelling… all about the poo (of course!)”
“I loved all the special touches, the sign language, the rainbows on the tops, the Cornish flag elephant ears, the reimagined Cornish songs, the Kernewek, and the newspaper articles!!! It was really wonderful and imaginative.”
“An embodiment of the book without being a cardboard cutout.”
“We have seen The Mousehole Cat and Percy Pengelly and they were both amazing.”
"Amazing show today. We laughed so much and the kids had great smiles on their faces the whole time!"
