Annabelle’s Skirting Board Adventure is a brand new theatre show for young children and families produced, written and starring Howard Read, creator of the hugely successful CBBC and live theatre touring hit Little Howard. Uniquely for this Fringe, the show utilises live digital puppetry, innovatively combined with 6 video cameras, animation, film, comedy and live music, all created in real-time before the audience. It’s ideally suited for ages 3-6 and their big friends.
Annabelle’s Skirting Board Adventure is like no other kids show at the Fringe, and works on many levels. Children can immerse themselves in Annabelle’s adventures, parents can appreciate the charm and wit of the story, and the more curious in the audience can marvel at the technology and spend the rest of the summer wondering how on earth it was performed.
Howard Read is a stand-up comedian, animator, writer and lyricist and highly regarded in writing and production circles around children’s entertainment. The Perrier nominee has taken his cartoon creation Little Howard around the world, to the Royal Variety Performance, and beamed into millions of homes on CBBC. Steve Pretty is best known as bandleader of the Hackney Colliery Band. His own critically-acclaimed Edinburgh shows combining music, theatre and comedy have been described as ‘original, intelligent comedy delivered with commendable panache.’ Fest
