OUR Farmer needs YOUR help
Adapted from a centuries-old mathematical riddle, THE FARMER, THE WOLF, THE GOAT and THE CABBAGE is a brand-new musical show for young schoolchildren.
It's the tale of how a farmer - with the interactive help of the audience - solves the problem of how to transport a cunning wolf, a mischievous goat and a very large cabbage across a river, when his boat only has room for himself and one other.
And he must be really careful about who stays behind on each riverbank – because EVERYONE is eyeing someone else as lunch! Can you help the Farmer figure out the answer?
The solution is creative, logical, algorithmic and musical.
THE FARMER, THE WOLF, THE GOAT AND THE CABBAGE is a delightful, musical comedy show with plenty of audience participation and interactive fun… Ideal for children of all ages!
