Hickory Hickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock
Ages 3 - 8 years
Garlic Theatre's brand new glove puppet show for families touring from July 2025
In the marvellous Museum of Clocks is a wonderful Mouse Clock for all to see. One day the clock is broken and a brave little mouse runs away… In another part of town Mrs Hickory orders a new alarm clock and a huge box arrives on her doorstep. Why is it so big? And what is that squeaking sound inside?
As time ticks by, can Mrs Hickory and her cat Dickory catch the mouse running all over the house and will the beautiful old clock ever chime again?
Join us for a merry slapstick 2 person show, starring glove puppets, silly museum curators, dozy delivery drivers, a magnificent clock and that song you've all been waiting for ....
For 3 - 8 years Running Time: 50 minutes
