Kika’s Birthday

by John and Danyah Miller

A co-production with Little Angel Theatre and Orange Tree Theatre

One of The Guardian’s six best shows for children at Edinburgh Fringe

Running time: 50 minutes

Kika, a little French mouse, is going to be 5 years old! Her family has planned a birthday surprise, with friends, songs and a grasshopper band. But who is that with his twitchy tail and shining eyes watching them closely? It’s the Bright Orange Cat. Will he join the party, make some new friends and share some birthday cake, or does he have something else in mind?

A delightful, interactive story, with puppetry, for children aged 4+ and their families.
Come and help this family of mice bake a special birthday cake for Kika and maybe you can even share a tiny piece with them all.
