This family theatre show tells the true tale of an adopted tiger cub.

From a circus train in South Africa, to a steamboat on the Atlantic Ocean and onward to West Yorkshire, a ramshackle travelling troupe tell us the unbelievable true story of a family of acrobats and their adopted tiger cub.

Based on the extraordinary story of Fenella, the Holmfirth Tiger, this fantastical production by the award-winning playwright Mike Kenny is a high-spirited balancing act of circus, puppetry and live music. Join Titch, Ma and Pa on their riotous adventure into a world where ‘all the best stories end with a surprise’.
