Feijóo and Gregg strike a balance between engaging with all the rapt upturned faces in this comfortable, but quasi-mountainous environment and playing together in the mode of the classic Laurel and Hardy-esque comedy duo – good-natured Gregg is constantly the butt of mischievous Feijóo’s jokes.

In 2015, we developed a work in progress called The Shape of Things with a group of parents and babies in Edinburgh. We then secured funding from Creative Scotland to tour this new re-developed piece for 6 months – 2 year olds in Autumn 2016. The co-production was in development from 2014 and brought together Scottish puppet & theatre maker Ailie Cohen and Marc Mac Lochlainn of Branar Téatar do Pháistí (Galway).
