Coming this year… Betty and the Yeti!

In a far away land of igloos and ice, the villagers panic when they see large footprints in the snow – could it be a Yeti?! But brave Betty knows that appearances are not always what they seem and sets off on an adventure involving an avalanche of lost property, northern lights, singing polar bears, and a super-speedy Arctic hare!

Angel Exit Theatre (associate company of Lighthouse; SALT, Otto and the Robin, toooB)  conjure up this magical new show, a frosty tale of facing fear and finding friendship with puppetry, slapstick humour, catchy songs, and plenty of interactive fun. Based on the picture book by Dorset writer Ella Burfoot, Betty and the Yeti is a delightful story that will warm your heart like a cuddle in the cold. 

For ages 3-10 and their families.

Premiering this October at Lighthouse, Poole. Book your tickets here

Formed by graduates of the prestigious Ecole Lecoq, South West based Angel Exit Theatre is a shifting ensemble of performers with a shared passion for new dynamic physical theatre, under the artistic direction of Tamsin Fessey and Lynne Forbes.

To date Angel Exit have devised, produced and performed nine original pieces of theatre, all critically acclaimed. They have very different stories, but what the shows have in common is a strong emphasis on storytelling through physical ensemble theatre, using the European traditions of clown, chorus, melodrama, and buffoonery.
