Little Angel Theatre Studios

Former Little Angel artistic director Steve Tiplady returns to his old stomping ground with a solo puppet show that retells the faintly sinister German legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin from the point of view of Horace, an innocent rat who gets caught up in the town’s various shenanigans. For ages five and above.

Seen at the Polka Theatre last Christmas and now transferring to the Little Angel for 2026, this festive show for younger children is a sweet-sounding number adapted from a Benji Davies picturebook that follows a girl, her dad and – of course – a snowflake as they try to find the places they belong. It’s aimed at children ages three to six.
