Festive family show by Quirk Theatre, with projection, puppetry and original music, about a Yeti who moves into the forest near the fictional town of Little Trusting.
Quirk Theatre bring their family Christmas show, Yeti, to the Exeter Phoenix auditorium this December. It's a festive one, co-created with young people from the local community and presented right here in the city.
The story is set in the fictional town of Little Trusting, where a band of adventurers heads into the wilderness in search of a Yeti who's moved into the nearby forest. His arrival throws the town's Christmas preparations into chaos, and the show follows the fallout. It's described as hilarious and heartwarming, and it looks at friendship, courage and what it means to belong.
On stage, it's built around Quirk's signature house style: projection, puppetry, creative set design and original music, with the score written by composer Jonny Wharton. Zaid Al-Rikabi plays Stanley. The production is supported by the Arts Council England Lottery Fund, and audiences are invited to donate alongside their ticket to Refugee Support Devon and Exeter Food Bank. There's also a relaxed performance available, with house lights up, reduced sound and freedom to move and make noises.
