Heidi - A Goat's Tale
It's winter and the goats are locked up in the barn for the night. What mischief do they get up to when they discover torn pages from a book called Heidi?
This Christmas, treat the whole family to an evening of wonderful silliness as a bunch of cheeky goats perform their own take on Heidi.
This witty tale-within-a-tale is downright daft, packed with mad ‘goaty’ humour and hilarious episodes that will surprise and delight whatever your age.

glad you enjoyed it! - Hope you had a good Christmas :)
I (Grandad) came to the matinee on 23 December with 3 other adults and 5 grandchildren aged 3 to 10. All in the party enjoyed the show. I liked the a capella singing, the train when Heidi goes to town and generally the great timing - which must have needed lots of rehearsal.
Many thanks to all the company for a witty and funny start to Christmas.
I went to see the show last Thursday and it was amazing!!!!! really really funny :) I would probably go and see it again!
This production was without doubt absolutely brilliant.At all levels it was faultless: acting, amazing singing and clever/minimal use of props.
I took my 2 grandchilren to see it, one aged 8, the other 4.
I have spent my working life with young children.
I think that as presented, few children under the age of 10 would be able to understand the play.
The language was often tricky for an adult to grasp, the shift of character roles very quick and the use of "scenery change" often lost other than to an adult.
This seemed to me,a work based on a children's story but to be most appreciated by young and older adults.
Again, it was brilliant.
I saw this show back in 2008 when it was first made... it's really good fun. Lot's of silliness all the way through and really enjoyable for all ages. The goats are hilarious - really funny when they come in to the audience and cause lots of mayhem!!!
