The ThreeWeeks review of Unpacked's Jumping Mouse, a children's show at the Pleasance Courtyard:
These performers are really very good at making objects into animals. They've got an inventive style that lends itself well to sparking the imagination of children; watch out for the walking sticks that are birds as well as a bison's horns. The warm-hearted trio lead us onto their bus and tell the tale of Mouse 267B, who goes off in search of whatever is causing the roaring noise in her ears. On the way she meets some blues frogs - who very nearly steal the show - and a competitive wolf, not forgetting that bison (whose song is a wonderfully witty ode to old age). This is a strong production, and should definitely be going places.
tw rating: 3/5
