Given the success of so many other stage adaptations of Julia Donaldson’s hugely popular stories (see, for example, The Baddies elsewhere in this blog), it’s a real no-brainer to mount a live version of The Detective Dog.

The canine sleuth of the title is Nell, whose detective skills are certainly not in question; whether it’s finding a lost shoe or discovering who left an unpleasant ‘surprise’ on the new gravel pathway, her ever-sniffing nose is always hard at work. So when the books at her owner Peter’s school disappear one morning, it isn’t long before Nell is on the case and sniffing out the culprit!...

Created with three- to seven-year-olds in mind, the show is being presented by Bristol-based Tiny & Tall Productions.
