FOR NURSERY - P1 PUPILS
Potato Needs a BathPotato has mud on his face.
Potato has mud in his ears. Potato needs a bath (just don’t get soap in his eyes!) There is going to be a party and everyone is ready - except Potato. Onion is practicing his guitar, Aubergine is wearing her new necklace and Peach is bouncing on the bed with excitement. Potato needs a bath - but he has other ideas - because Potato loves mud! A gentle and light-hearted show featuring fruit, vegetables and original music. “…the queen of Scottish children’s theatre…” The List on Shona Reppe Full details for this production are still to be confirmed and will be updated once the new TiSS programme is in place.
