There’s a secret kingdom full of mysteries…

A whole world of strange, smelly and surprising life…

And they’re all around us!

Welcome to…THE MUSHROOM SHOW! 

Critically acclaimed Scratchworks Theatre fuses their signature style of physical comedy, audience interaction and family theatre with the world of fungi. The award-winning company bring together science, music and participatory activities for whole families to experience together.

Suitable for ages 5+

Augustine Fogwoode might be the world’s MOST enthusiastic mushroom enthusiast! She is on a quest to make sure everyone knows about the brilliance of fungi: their scientific superpowers and amazing abilities. But it’s just her and her puppet friend Goldie. She might just need a few more fun-guys to make it happen. 

Join the party and discover how fungi grow, connect and help the natural world, including us humans. Packed full of interactive games, playful music and lots of laughs for all the family,The Mushroom Show is one person's mission to build a community… and maybe it’ll become your mission too?

Supported by Arts Council England, Doorstep Arts, Libraries Unlimited, Beaford, Theatre Alibi and Unity Theatre Trust. Developed in consultation with research partners and funding from the University of Plymouth.
