Capital E National Theatre for Children
My children (8yrs & 5yrs) went to Capital E yesterday to see the hilarious puppet show – Boxes
They both thoroughly enjoyed the show, and laughed all the way through it.
8 year old said:
“It was really funny, and there were lots of boxes too. There were two puppets, they were enemies. The boy (Elton) liked stripes and the girl (Bernie) liked spots, and they fought over designing the place. They fought and made a box wall and then they were smacking each other with pillows (laughs). They ripped their blankets in half, and they decided to be friends and to share the design.”
Elton moves into a house with all his belongings only to find that his tea turns into coffee, his flowers disappear and someone has been sleeping in his bed — when suddenly he comes face to face with the mysterious Bernie. A witty tale of friendship unfolds as Bernie & Elton discover it’s much easier to enjoy a cup of tea together than fight over whose table setting is best. A sweet story packed with humour, tricks and clever puppetry perfect for the whole family.
“Something for everyone…humour, clowning, slapstick, surprises, a sweet story, lively music and intriguing technical ingenuity” The Waikato Times
