A Little Bit of Blue is an interactive detective show for families, told with puppetry. As well as helping to unravel a mystery, the audience will learn about the extraordinary habits of the Australian Satin Bowerbird and why they are so fascinated by the colour blue.
The story begins with strange disappearances from Mrs Mavis Hooley’s home. Little things go missing such as clothes pegs, a teacup, a ball of wool. But then the thief takes it just one step too far and Mavis calls in a Detective to investigate. A stake out is required. In the dead of night, the Detective indeed finds something peculiar. Can the audience help to solve the case?
