Sammy and the Snow Leopard (2017)

About the show

Sammy is 9 years old and likes animals.  No...he LOVES animals.  The problem is his Mum won't let him have any pets. But when his best friend Hokey Pokey tells him about the 'Adopt a Snow Leopard' programme, Sammy reckons he's found a way to have a pet that doesn't actually come to the house.  Perfect!  But then Sammy gets an unexpected gift – and finds himself on an adventure that quickly spirals out of control… 

This is a high-energy show involving stuffed animals, evil neighbours, school projects and limes that will enchant everyone over 5.

Sammy and the Snow Leopard is both written and performed by Brad McCormick who has developed a quirky way of making solo theatre that involves everyone in the audience in mass role-playing. The show had a short pilot tour in March 2015 when audiences were overwhelming in their praise for it.

Children said:

•          It was cool, amazing and epic
•          I would recommend this show for people who enjoy funny things
•          I thought it was a very good show because it is hard to be lots of people and he did very well

…and adults enjoyed it just as much:

•          Hilarious! I loved the multi-role and the limes!
•          It was brilliant. The slow-motion bit really made us laugh!
•          Very good & original – thoroughly enjoyed!
