Hi! I've been very busy for the past four weeks doing a tour of my show for 3-5 year olds, Meep and Moop. This show has been devised by myself and Clare McGarry and has been directed by Guy Hollands from TAG. The short tour has been taking in several nurseries throughout the Glasgow area including a couple of venues for public performances.
The show tells the story of two loveable meerkats who wake up in the morning and begin their usual routine of capering about! They play a game of hide and seek, have a picnic and discover their musical instruments (a cello and a flute) which they then use to play music for the young audience. All this is disrupted however by a scary bird flying over head and Meep and Moop run for cover. Eventually, after the bird has appeared several times, they realise that they have to stand up for themselves and they chase the bird away, thus conquering their fears.
The show has been great fun to do and it has been going down really well with the audiences. It's great fun to perform although very tiring as we are wearing full fur outfits and there's a lot of jumping about!

We also just received a great review from Mark Brown in the Sunday Herald who praised our superb performances. Unfortunately it isn't online...
