Pull up a bath mat and join Little Lost Duck, Syd the Sponge and the rest of the Bathtub Gang for the bubbliest birthday party anyone has ever thrown, ever! It’s Mr Bath’s birthday and you are invited to his Splishy, Splashy, Sploshy party. But first, his friends are treating him to a very special bath of his own to make him look spick and span and as shiny as a rainbow fish!
This enchanting production for very young children uses dance, music and puppetry to help children and families explore communicative play at bath time.

Finding Joy is based on life events and true stories, and brims with all the visual inventiveness, music, puppetry, dexterity and hilarity that we have come to expect from one of the UK’s foremost full mask theatre companies.
