BATH Theatre Royal’s dedicated children’s theatre space The Egg welcomes Midnight Mole back from Friday 10th January to Sunday 9th February. No sooner has the team said goodbye to Snow Mouse than they return with this Chekhov-inspired show, by popular demand.

Described as a heart-warming adventure for the very young, it is full of puppetry and music, and specially created for younger audiences aged between six months to four years old. Audiences can join Madame Ranevsky in her favourite place, the Cherry Orchard. Tonight she’s saying goodbye to it one last time before moving house. Under the light of the silvery moon, she plays with her nocturnal friends before Midnight Mole bursts from his mound to join her. With a fascination for found objects, Mole leads her on an adventure of rediscovery, above and below ground, which allows her to see her orchard afresh, and to embark on her new journey.

Midnight Mole is performed by Nikki Warwick. The director is Nik Partridge, puppet direction is by Marc Parrett and the dramaturg is Kate Cross. The show is performed in the Roper Room, at 9.30am, 11.30am and 1.30pm every day except Mondays. For more details, contact the box office or visit the website.
