A little Bit of Blue

An interactive detective story, told with puppetry, where the kids help solve the case!

The story begins with strange disappearances from Mrs Mavis Hooley’s home. Something has just gone missing and it is nowhere to be found. Mrs Hooley has been looking everywhere. But it’s not just today. Every day a new thing seems to disappear. Little things: clothes pegs, a ball of wool. It’s troubling at first, but then the thief takes it one step too far.

Mavis calls in a Detective to investigate. A stake out is required. In the dead of night, the Detective indeed finds something peculiar... The children’s role is to help him solve the mystery...

With puppeteer Jenny Ellis, the audience will unravel a mystery, and learn about the unique habits of an extraordinary Australian creature, the bowerbird, and their fascination with the colour blue.

The young audience gasps with surprise, sighs with the sadness, shouts in outrage, cheers with triumph, and dances with joy as they follow this sneaky bowerbird on his journey to find love.
