Presented by Little Angel Theatre with Ian Nicholson and Sam Wilde

Aimed at ages 3-6

A bear has lost his hat. What if he never sees it again? WAIT! He has seen his hat.

A fish has stolen a hat. And he’ll probably get away with it. Probably.

Two turtles have found a hat. The hat looks good on both of them. But there are two turtles. And there is only one hat.

Following their hit digital series on Little Angel Theatre’s YouTube channel, and a sold out run at their venue, lockdown sensations Ian Nicholson and Sam Wilde are back, showcasing their trademark cardboard design across the UK on the first ever tour of I Want My Hat Back Trilogy! Jon Klassen’s beloved books, I Want My Hat Back, This is Not My Hat and We Found A Hat, have found a new life of their own LIVE on stage. All your favourites including Bear, Little Fish and the Turtles will be making an appearance in this one-of-a-kind trilogy.

★★★★★

Hysterically funny and stunningly imaginative. Even with its Peaky Blinders moments this amazing show will have you laughing all the way home, discussing its topics and creating things from cardboard long afterwards.

Everything Theatre

★★★★★

Nemesis; hubris; redemption; headgear. (...) It would maaaaybe be a stretch to compare it to Greek tragedy, but there’s something of the devastating emotional clarity of the ‘Oresteia’ trilogy here.

Time Out

★★★★

Impressive theatricality. A charming cardboard adaptation of Jon Klassen’s picture books
