Kika, a little French mouse, is going to be 5 years old! Her family has planned a birthday surprise, with friends, songs and a grasshopper band. But who is that with his twitchy tail and shining eyes watching them closely? It’s the Bright Orange Cat. Will he join the party, make some new friends and share some birthday cake, or does he have something else in mind?
A delightful interactive story, with puppetry, by award winning storyteller, Danyah Miller, for children aged 3+ and their families. Come and help this family of mice bake a special birthday cake for Kika and maybe you can even share a tiny piece of it with them all.
Danyah Miller returns to the Orange Tree following the Christmas 2015 success of Michael Morpurgo’s I Believe in Unicorns. Samantha Lane is Artistic Director of Little Angel Theatre.
