This show written by Director of Splats Steve Richards is original and great fun. The Bungarooo lands in the middle of the school playground and spread colour and joy across the land. A very exciting opportunity for pupils to be part of something unique and brand new. This Play day is perfect for all ages and works well with infants and nursery.

PERFECT FOR BOOK WEEKS INVITE PARENTS ALONG AND MAKE IT A REAL COMMUNITY EVENT.
Also available make a play weeks and special show days where we can put on an evening performance for parents.
"The children enjoyed the day thoroughly. The information pack that was sent beforehand was very useful as staff knew what was happening and what they needed to do. Mark was brilliant with the children; he directed them carefully and encouraged them along the way. The performance at the end of the day was very successful. The Yr 5’s enjoyed performing the show and the rest of the Upper School enjoyed watching it. Thank you very much for doing such a brilliant job!"
