​George sees something in the kitchen.
It’s cake!
I said I’d be good, George thinks, but I LOVE cake.
​
What will George do?
Oh No, George! is the delightfully playful tale of a dog who wants to be good but just can’t resist temptation. Adapted from the award-winning picture book by Chris Haughton, this brand new show for everyone aged 3+ uses acrobatics, slapstick comedy, Sign Supported English and live music to bring George’s chaotic and joyful escapades to life.
a fantastic adaptation which vividly brings the book to life and elevates it into something even more engaging.
