Snow Mouse celebrates a magical tenth year at The Egg Theatre

Enchanting audiences for a decade, Snow Mouse returns to Bath’s Egg Theatre for a landmark 10^th consecutive year this Christmas.

Set to appear in The Roper Room at The Egg, performances will take place from Friday 29 November 2024 to Sunday 5 January 2025. This “delightful” (The Stage) seasonal tale for the very young, is perfect for children aged 6 months to 4 years old and their families.

Snow Mouse transports the audience to the snow-covered woods, where a child hurries to put on their winter clothes so they can run outside and play in a sparkly new world. Just as they are starting to feel a bit lonely, they find a sleeping mouse buried under the soft white flakes. Sliding, tumbling and laughing, they explore the winter wonderland together and keep each other safe and warm from the winter freeze.

Audiences can join two new friends on their adventures in a magical forest full of play, puppetry and music, in this production awarded 4 stars in Time Out. Sharing the role at various performances, Snow Mouse is performed by Caroline Garland and Oliver Langdon and is presented by The Egg together with Travelling Light Theatre Company. Original direction is by Nik Partridge, with rehearsal direction by Nikki Warwick. Design is by Edwina Bridgeman with puppetry by Marc Parrett and music by Alex Vann.

Caroline Garland is co-director of Kilter Theatre and works as a performer, devisor, director, writer and workshop facilitator. A co-creator and performer for Squirrel at the Egg (2019-24), Caroline also runs the Elders group for older actors, 65 years and over, as part of the Community Engage programme at the Theatre Royal Bath. Oliver Langdon co-directs Kilter Theatre alongside Caroline and has worked with young people at The Egg since 2007, directing and teaching.

Manager of The Egg Theatre, Lindsay Baker says: “I am delighted to welcome back Snow Mouse for its tenth year! It’s such a joy to see families returning year after year, making this enchanting production a cherished part of their Christmas tradition.”

Also appearing at The Egg, in the Main Auditorium, this Christmas (29 November to 11 January) is Robin Hood, written by Daniel Bye, “one of the most astute and stylish theatre makers around” (The Stage).
