About the Show
Tiny & Tall Productions brings Julia Donaldson and Sara Ogilvie‘s well-loved story, The Detective Dog on stage for family audiences.
Whether it’s finding a lost shoe or discovering who did a poo on the new gravel path, Nell’s ever-sniffing nose is always hard at work. So when the books at the school disappear one morning, Detective Dog Nell is ready to sniff out the culprit.
With British Sign Language, creative captions and spoken English, this joyful production celebrates books and the magic of reading through puppetry, surprising smells and toe-tapping music.
