About

Step into the magical world of A Squash and a Squeeze live on stage for the first time at Theatre Royal Wakefield!


Once upon a time, a little old lady lived all by herself in her cosy cottage, but she wasn’t happy – her house felt just too small. Whatever could she do? Will the wise old man’s solution of bringing in a flappy, scratchy, greedy, noisy crowd of farmyard animals work?


Come and enjoy this heartwarming and hilarious adventure, full of beautiful puppets and enchanting songs. Written and illustrated by the unparalleled picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, and adapted for the stage by Olivier-nominated duo, Barb Jungr and Samantha Lane.



★★★★★ “Ingenious puppetry and jolly performances.” – The Guardian
