a new musical adaptation of the book by roddy doyle
written & composed by fionn foley
“A glorious miniature musical that’s great fun for children and adults alike
★★★★★”
“A keen child-centred anarchy in the story translates perfectly to the stage.””
If adults are mean to children, they get the Giggler Treatment. It's smelly. It's squishy. And it sticks to your shoe. But sometimes, just sometimes, the Gigglers make a mistake... Can Robbie, Kayla, Jimmy and Rover the dog come to Mr Mack's rescue before the poo hits the shoe?
