Tiger Tale

'Thrilling' **** (Herald). A troubled family’s world turns upside down when a tiger visits. It’s chaotic, it’s dangerous but it’s brilliantly fun, with captivating dancers and live music.

'Thanks to Gilmore's choreography, Moore’s music and Pommerehn’s set (those buckets are full of surprises) the work is entertaining throughout’****(Scotsman). Natasha Gilmore and Robert Alan Evans have created an insightful story of family relationships. 'Go wild and catch it somewhere!' ***** (EdinburghGuide.com). www.madeinscotlandshowcase.com

The greatest operatic and symphonic hits sound as if they had been composed today, 'drowned in an unusual arrangement of ideas, sounds, voices, instrumental capabilities and volleys of audience laughter. Surprising, elegant, sometimes twisted ... a whole range of positive emotions flows from the stage' (Bilety24.pl). 'Incredibly funny, intelligent and a huge dose of great music’ (Komediowo.pl).
