The Detective Dog Theatre & Performing Arts

the_detective_dog


Whether it’s finding a lost shoe or discovering who did a poo on the new gravel path, Nell’s ever-sniffing nose is always hard at work. So when the books at the school have disappeared one morning, Detective Dog Nell is ready to sniff out the culprit!

With British Sign Language, creative captions and spoken English, this engaging show celebrates books and the magic of reading in an inclusive and accessible performance. Expect captivating puppetry; surprising smells and toe-tapping music.

Supported by Arts Council England.

This dramatisation of The Detective Dog is based on the picture book The Detective Dog © Julia Donaldson and Sara Ogilvie 2016, published by Macmillan Children’s Books.
