LISTINGS KIDS
I GIANTS, MAGIC AND MYSTERY/THE STONE GIANT AND OTHER STORIES See listings
for details. They’re behind you! Two big fellas from Clydebuilt Puppets’ collection discuss the relative pros and cons of having your puppet-master trail around with you all day. Run by Lee McCalister and Stephen Smart, Clydebuilt are a touring company who design, make and perform a wide range of shows using rod puppets, shadow theatre and body puppets, including a distinctive line in lite-size puppets like the
two jolly green giants pictured here.
Even when it’s cold and shivery outside, our at-a-glance guide will see you through. Events are listed under Glasgow and Edinburgh columns, and then divided by type at event. Kids listings compiled by Ellie Carr.
