WILD WILMA

"Our tale tells of a little girl and Wilma was her name, who loved to laugh and run and play, more wild and free than tame!"

Wild Wilma tells the story of a young girl who is sold to the circus because of her extraordinary nature. However, Wilma struggles to fit in and meet the strict expectations of the circus mistress. On a quest to find her identity, Wilma finds the courage and bravery to be wild and free through the friendship of others. A wonderfully wild family show written by children's author, Rachel Lyon (I Wish I'd Been Born A Unicorn for CBeebies) told through physical storytelling, puppetry and an original soundtrack. Suitable for ages 4-8 years. 

Be brave. Be different. Be wild!
