“This out-does both War Horse and The Lion King in the puppetry stakes. Animal magic.”
THE GUARDIAN

“The highlight of the show is the magnificent puppets…things of never-ending beauty.”
EVENING STANDARD

“The animals enchant. The puppetry is extraordinary and the reason to see this show. They are life-sized works of art.”
THE TIMES

“The puppetry is exquisite, with full-sized animals manipulated so they seem to breathe with documentary life.”
THE TELEGRAPH

“Amazing puppet animals…they are a joy to watch as they lumber, prowl and knuckle across the stage. Running Wild’s full sized puppet elephant is the absolute star of the show.”
