Charlie and Lola’s Best Bestest Play
Visiting Company
Watershed Productions present the BBC Worldwide and Polka Theatre production of Charlie and Lola’s Best Bestest Play. Don’t miss everyone’s favourite brother and sister, Charlie and Lola, in their extremely ever-so wonderful stage show! The stars of the hit BBC TV series and books by Lauren Child are brought to life by a magical mix of puppets, live action and music.
I have this little sister Lola.
She is small and very funny…
2-D and 3-D worlds mingle as we find out if Lola will ever tidy her room or if Charlie will get Lola to sleep, even though she is not sleepy and will not go to bed. The Tigers want their bedtime milk, the Dancing Dogs have borrowed Lola’s pyjamas – not to mention the Ogre in the wardrobe! Who’d have known there were so many problems to overcome?
Recommended for age 3-6 years.
Based on the characters created by Lauren Child

PRESS
“utterly charming and engaging for even the figitiest of toddlers.”
The List ★★★★
“this show is magic from start to finish”
Herald ★★★★
“Funny, subtle and charming”
Primary Times
“It is a gentle little show, pitched just right for its target audience…An ideal early theatre experience.”
The Guardian
“I thoroughly enjoyed the creative yet faithful translation of the books for the stage. More importantly, so did my three year old.” ★★★★
Time Out
“It takes wit and ingenuity to take a winning formula from the nursery bookshelf and small screen and make it equally charming on stage, but this show pulls it off in fine style.”
