Gertie is great at being the littlest yak, with the curliest, whirliest wool and the grippiest of hooves for clip-clopping up cliffs. Only, Gertie doesn’t want to be the littlest. She’s in a rush to grow up and be just like the big yaks. But what if there are some things that only a Gertie can do?

LAStheatre’s adaptation of the award-winning book by Lu Fraser and Kate Hindley, will delight with beautiful puppets, catchy tunes and an uplifting tale of self-acceptance to be enjoyed by children and grown ups alike.

A gorgeous story celebrating you being perfect… just the way you are, and a yaktastic adventure sure to get you in the festive spirit.

Nominated for OffWestEnd Awards – Best Performance, Writing, Music and Design.
