Dr Stirlingshire’s Discovery

“If you go down to the Zoo today you’re sure of a big surprise…The performance takes its audience on a promenade adventure that holds wonder in every step… Under the impressive joint direction of Joe Douglas and Maria Oller, this huge cast entertains all the way, delivering Morna Pearson’s witty dialogue to superb sound and music from Philip Pinsky. Positive accolades like uplifting and inspiring apply in spades to this surreal show that has an elephants weight in imagination and a monkey’s cage full of mischief. This enormously entertaining piece of collaborative, interactive and inclusive theatre holds the serious message about a woman whose mission in life is to discover new species at a time when species are becoming rapidly endangered. Like all wonderful things in life, Dr Stirlingshire’s ‘Somfinorother’ is always just out of reach but manages to hold immense hope. Follow the purple poo in the zoo for a safari like no other!”
