The Zoo That Comes To You follows the impassioned attempts of two animal enthusiasts to share their love of and concern for animals with the world. They take in animals that need respite, care or a temporary home and have, accidentally, ended up with a whole sanctuary, but with no visitors! So everybody, animals and humans alike, have decided it is time to get out, see the world, and bring the zoo to you!

Come and meet this eclectic group of charming yet cheeky animals, as they discuss their life experiences and the challenges they face in a rapidly changing world. They have a lot to say and want to inspire people of all ages to take action, because they know small actions can make a big difference in the world.

Featuring puppetry, live music and playful characters, Scarlet Oak Theatre welcomes you to join the conversation about animal conservation here at our Olivier Theatre. 

Splendidly synchronised... Jasmine Orchard and Lucia d’Inverno infuse the room with joyful music, silliness and fabulous puppetry
