Dear Zoo Live

Four animal deliveries, one perfect pet

Rod Campbell's lift-the-flap story comes to the stage in a 55-minute family show built around puppets, songs and audience interaction. Ben and Sally write to the zoo looking for the perfect pet, but the deliveries keep going wrong, from an elephant that is too big to a camel that is too grumpy and a frog that is too jumpy.

The production is designed as a gentle introduction to theatre for young children, and the venue lists it for ages one and over. Showings are on Saturday at 2pm and 4pm, followed by Sunday at 11am and 2pm.

The Theatre typically opens the auditorium around 15 minutes before the start, with the bar and front-of-house box office open an hour earlier. Step-free stalls access is through the Spring Street bar door, with wheelchair spaces and companion seats held for every performance.

Ticketed. Check the venue page for current availability.
