They take in animals that need respite, care or a temporary home and have, accidentally, ended up with a whole sanctuary, but with no visitors! So everybody – animals and humans alike – have decided it is time to get out, see the world, and bring the zoo, to you. Come and meet this eclectic group of charming yet cheeky animals, as they discuss their life experiences and the challenges they face in a rapidly changing world. They have a lot to say and want to inspire people of all ages to take action, because they know small actions can make a big difference in the world. Featuring puppetry, live music and playful characters, Scarlet Oak Theatre welcomes you to join the conversation about animal conservation.

BARK! - 7.30pm - A LIVE CINEMA PLAY TOLD FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A DOG. A dog with a bird-killing problem. Two people stitching their relationship together. A house filled with taxidermy animals.

Using cameras, puppets, and diorama sets, five performers weave together a live animation told from the perspective of a dog. A delicate, eerie, and amusing look at three lives, human and non-human, from emerging live-cinema company Buzzcut. A “sold out must see” (★★★★ Beyond the Curtain) from Edinburgh Fringe 2024.
