DINOSAUR ZOO Coming to Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury
DINOSAURS are brought to life at The Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury, next month (April).
Fresh from its success at the Edinburgh Festival and following a UK and international autumn tour, the West End hit Dinosaur Zoo uses ingenious puppetry in an interactive and imaginative live show.
Suitable for all the family (ages three and over), Australian-based creators Erth introduce audiences to a range of creatures from cute baby dinos to teeth-gnashing giants, including a carnivorous theropod known as the 'Australovenator' - Australia's version of the American T-Rex.
Intrepid audience members who are brave enough to get up close and personal with the dinosaurs are invited up on stage to assist the zoo keepers in their daily tasks - but be warned - not all of these ravenous reptiles are as tame as they seem!
Each performance concludes with a post-show "meat and greet" session offering every audience member a chance to meet the dinosaurs in person.
Dinosaur Zoo first roared into the UK in 2013, enjoying a hugely successful season at Regent's Park Open-Air Theatre in London followed by a 22-venue UK tour. The show then transferred to the West End for a seven-week Christmas season at the Phoenix Theatre. Since then it has continued to tour across the UK, as well as enjoyed a hugely popular season at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last summer.
Fast-becoming a worldwide hit, Dinosaur Zoo has played to family and schools audiences across the world, from New York City to Bahrain.
Based in Sydney, Erth create original live theatre at the forefront of new performance practice, inspiring audiences with their unique and dynamic vision. Since its beginnings in 1990, the company has strived to provide audiences with eye-popping visual experiences incorporating, amongst other disciplines, giant puppetry and inflatable environments. Erth has performed internationally at events and festivals, including the Sydney Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in 2000.
Dinosaur Zoo is at The Marlowe Theatre from Friday 17 to Sunday 19 April (various performance times). Tickets are £12.50 and £15 (booking fee applies) from the Box Office on 01227 787787 or marlowetheatre.com.
