Penguin is a musical puppet show for children aged about 2 to 8 and their families, based on Polly Dunbar's award-winning picture book. It tells of Ben, who receives a penguin as a present; the penguin says nothing however hard Ben tries to entertain it, until a passing lion intervenes and Ben discovers something worth the wait. The show is made by Long Nose Puppets, who create colourful musical puppet shows full of surprises, with lively songs by Tom Gray of Gomez. It runs 40 minutes, with 15 minutes afterwards to meet the puppets.
