Lauren Child's brother-and-sister puppet-musical, Charlie and Lola's Best Bestest Play, comes home to Polka Theatre for their 30th birthday year with a show that has been touring the country since its sold-out stage debut here in 2008. The little girl who will not ever, never eat a tomato and her brother Charlie put on their first ever play which promises to be the best bestest entertainment for 4 to 7 year old 'Charlie and Lola' fans. The play is based on Lauren Child's popular book series which has been made into a BBC TV series. In this live show, it comes to life on stage in a mix of puppets, music and animation. Favourite episodes adapted for stage by the Polka Children's Theatre's artistic director, Jonathan Lloyd, include trying to get Lola to tidy her room and Charlie's attempts to get his wide awake little sister to go to sleep. Ages 4-7
