The Paper Dolls

A Little Angel Theatre and Polka Theatre co-production, based on the original book by Julia Donaldson and Rebecca Cobb

When a little girl cuts out a string of paper dolls she takes them by the hand and together they go on a fantastical adventure whirling through their home and garden.  Ticky, Tacky, Jackie the Backie, Jim with two noses and Jo with the bow fly through time and tear across worlds of fun and excitement.

They face the Jurassic clutches of a toy dinosaur and the snapping jaws of the oven glove crocodile, and then a very real boy with very real scissors threatens to snip their adventure short…

The Paper Dolls is aimed at ages 3-8. Our shows for this age group have storylines that can be followed and enjoyed by 3 to 4-year-olds, but may also use slightly more complex ideas, humour, dialogue or song lyrics that older children will get more out of. There is nothing really scary in these shows but they can be a bit more dramatic than those for the youngest children, including in their use of sound and lighting, and characters may face some perils.
