An enchanting musical version of The Pixie and the Pudding (Ad)

Christmas at Watermans this year includes an enchanting musical version of The Pixie and the Pudding, a tale from Scandinavian folklore, brought to life with puppetry, original music and a sprinkling of pixie magic.

The Pixie and the Pudding will be performed from 6 – 30 December to both schools and public audiences and performed at Watermans by internationally renowned puppetry company Little Angel Theatre after its highly successful premiere at their north London venue
in 2019.

Written by Barb Jungr and Samantha Lane and directed by Little Angel Theatre’s Samantha Lane, The Pixie and the Pudding is the ideal festive treat for children 4 - 11 years and their families.

It’s Christmas Eve on the farm, and the chickens, pigs and cows are fast asleep. Inside the
farmhouse, the fire is roaring and a delicious, steaming pudding is left out on the windowsill.

When Charlie and her dad move to the farm from the city, everything seems to go wrong.
Dolly the cow’s in a grump, there’s not an egg to be found, and even the cockerel has
stopped crowing! If only they’d paid attention to the mysterious note left on their windowsill
about a curious pixie and the pudding she likes to eat on Christmas Eve…

Barb Jungr, who composed the music and lyrics for The Pixie and the Pudding is also
one of the most accomplished British singers of her generation with a formidable talent as a
singer, composer and lyricist who has written extensively for children and family musical
theatre, especially in recent years collaborating with Little Angel Theatre and Samantha
Lane.

Samantha Lane, LAT’s Artistic Director and director of The Pixie and the Pudding
said:

"I am so excited that we are taking our beloved Pixie - and all her farmyard friends - to
Watermans this Christmas. It's such a magical, festive story - full of catchy songs and great
puppetry. I challenge anyone not to fall in love with this cheeky, hungry little sprite!”

Watermans’ Director Jan Lennox commented:
“Little Angel Theatre bring a wealth of experience and deep knowledge of its audiences and
continue to demonstrate that brilliant puppetry is one of the most joyful and inspirational
introductions to theatre and the imagination. Watermans is looking forward to welcoming
Little Angel Theatre in December.”
