The Jolly Postman
NEW
This well known picture book is given the Sitara treatment, creating a highly interactive, hilarious show promoting helping other people and celebrating those in our community who help us.
The Jolly Postman has a lot of mail to deliver and we follow his journey as he visits the Three Bears, a Witch, a Giant, Cinderella, the Big Bad Wolf and Goldilocks. As well as delivering letters and parcels, the Jolly Postman always finds a way to help and often includes his young audience.
With lots of interactive fun, puppets and masks by the UK Design Artist John Barber and lots of music and magic, this is Sitara's most spectacular adaptation yet.
