Please note - our performers will actively interact and engage with audience members, to invite audiences to draw closer (and build the atmosphere) and in some cases to participate in the performance! All performers do this with the best intentions and endeavour to remain respectful and understanding. They endeavour to be mindful of those for whom some levels of interaction or participation may be difficult or not possible, whether due to a hidden disability, neurodiversity or to feel safe.
As an audience member, you are allowed to say no and you are allowed to walk away without feeling embarrassed! Just as much as you are allowed to say yes and leap at the chance of being involved! We are all individuals, and we are all celebrated for that individuality. So - you do you, and we'll try to make our event welcoming for all!

Helping us make the mental connection to the waste we generate and the litter pollution seen in the oceans.

The Sprats
The Sprats is a highly visual and interactive walkabout act. The Sprats are strapped into a motorised pushchair. They’re bolshy. They drive where they want. They say what they want. Their emotions run high… are they hysterically laughing or hysterically crying? Will they quote Plato or burp the alphabet? They debate and they poo. They want to entertain you, like Robbie Williams, only a lot more petulant, and a bit less famous.
