The Hug presented by Long Nose Puppets

Based on the heart-warming and funny book ‘The Hug’ by Eoin McLaughlin and Polly Dunbar. Starring a Hedgehog and a Tortoise both in search of a restorative hug.

Facing many rejections along the way, they meet a rather scary badger, an obsessive squirrel who knows A LOT about nuts, a fabulous fox and an owl who is trying hard to be wise. A tale of hope, empathy and acceptance.

Set to Tom Gray’s beautiful and witty music, the audience are invited on a journey full of fun, laughter and love…and at the end, a very special hug from our puppets.

A visual guide gives you lots of information about Z-arts and the show you are going to see, using pictures and accessible text. They are suitable for anyone who would benefit from a clear and accessible introduction to Z-arts and the show. Click the link to access: The Hug Visual Guide
