Hullaba Lulu

An eccentric couple travel their strange monochrome world in a quirky land-boat, until their lives are turned upside down by a new arrival -- the adorable and colourful Lulu. In her ever-changing forms, Lulu teaches the couple all about love, play and eventually, how to say goodbye. Entertaining, hilarious and poignant, the show features exquisite puppetry, live music and songs.

West Yorkshire's Thingumajig Theatre is fast becoming one of the UK's most respected puppet companies. Its distinctive visual style is acclaimed by audiences both in this country and abroad. Hullaba Lulu is sure to captivate every audience with its engaging characters and spell-binding story.

Hullaba Lulu is created by Kathy Kim and Andrew Kim, with direction by Mark Whitaker and is supported by Arts Council of England, Grants for the Arts.

Running time: 60 minutes
Suitable for all ages 5 and up
