FROM THE COMPANY THAT BROUGHT YOU THE GRUFFALO AND ROOM ON THE BROOM This adaptation of the absurdly funny Lemony Snicket story is vividly brought to life in Tall Stories’ unique physical style, with live music, lots of laughs and a screaming potato pancake. Our story begins in a tiny village more or less covered in snow, where a Chanukah Latke, a fried potato pancake, is born screaming. The Latke jumps from the boiling pan and races through the wintery village deep in the throes of festive preparations. Lost amongst the snowy landscape and Christmas lights, will our Latke ever find where it belongs? Suitable for ages 5+. ‘ A wonderfully inventive take on the usual seasonal fare’ – Time Out **** ‘ Deliciously directed...they create an air of adorable silliness, a good-natured knowingness that tips delicately into pastiche’ – The Telegraph **** ‘ A gem of a children’s show’ – Jewish Chronicle ***** Original sell-out run co-commissioned by the Roundhouse and JW3, and supported by Arts Council England, the Family Circle and Royal Victoria Hall Foundation.
