At Rubber Duck we believe that theatre is not just for grown-ups. We want to produce shows that will be loved by kids aged 4 to 94, combining fantastic costumes and stunning set with boundless energy and stories that will keep even the smallest bottoms firmly on seats. We use puppetry, animation, new music and physical theatre to bring your favourite stories to life, along with some of our very own.
