Baa Moo Yellow Dog titles
A play of few words and oodles of imagination for 2 - 5 years
performed in integrated British Sign Language and English.

Production shot of Baa Moo Yellow Dog
Where are you when cows bleat like sheep, pigs have wings and a horse lives in an apple tree? In Ash's colourful imaginary world.

Join Ash as he looks in holes, turns corners, and hops, skips and jumps over cracks. A world where things are not what they first seem and where you might even see a yellow dog.

Baa Moo Yellow Dog explores the playful imagination of a small boy as he tries to bring order to the unexpected and where difference can be a good thing.

Wrapped up in a continuous contemporary soundscape inspired by baroque music, Baa Moo Yellow Dog presents a fantastical world where the imagination runs riot and there are new friends around every corner.

What people said about the original production:

"This is a charming, simple show, uncluttered by long speeches or big ideas, where creative play become jaunty dance sequences to Rob Lee's evocative, articulate music. Baa Moo makes the little ones laugh at a world full of surprises"
(London's Time Out)

"This carefully choreographed show tells the story of Ash. He has no-one to play with, so pretends himself into a topsy-turvy world in which a huge spotted cow bleats like a sheep and a pink horse lives in an apple tree.. particularly dramatic are the surreal lilac flying pig and the huge yellow and black egg, which eventually opens to yield a cuddly, yellow puppy to be Ash's friend. It is highly effective"
(The Stage)
