Making bread is hard work, but it would be a lot easier if the lazy farmyard animals got off their reclining sofas and lent a hand! Join our plucky little hen as she finds her own way to get stuff done.

What audiences say

We loved it, it made us smile and laugh.

Fantastic hour spent this afternoon with all three grandchildren, all children and other halves and Great Grandma watching The Little Red Hen... Great show for all ages!

The little Red hen was awesome!! (from Jake aged 7)

We had an amazing time watching The Little Red Hen with 5 children between us. All of them, from 6 months to 5 years were enraptured, laughed in all the right places and joined in.

Can honestly say it was the best show I've taken my girls (6 & 3) to watch.

All of the children were completely enraptured for the whole 60 minutes. It was brilliantly acted and visually stunning.

Really funny, really clever. Lots of stuff for the adults as well as the children. Excellent.
