"Calling all hippo expert enthusiasts!"
Dr. Zeiffal and Dr. Zeigal and The Hippo That Can Never Be Caught, invites the audience to help the forgetful Dr. Zeiffal catch that crafty Hippo with her patented Hippo Instruments. Expect belly laughs, belly flops, surreal slapstick and fantastical falling over in this interactive family comedy that will have kids storming the stage. Bring your hippo catchers and your hippo google goggles, because Dr Zeiffal has most likely lost hers....
Dr Zeiffal, Dr Zeigal and the Hippo That Can Never Be Caught! was first commissioned for the 2015 Folkestone Living Advent Calendar, JimJamArts. Inspired by real-life discoveries of prehistoric hippopotamus bones in the UK, this show follows the madcap quest of two ‘special archaeological scientist hippo expert enthusiasts' to track down the hippo that can never be caught.
