...Fresh from an acclaimed sold-out season at the National Theatre, Ross Collins’ much-loved The Elephantom, will be charging into the New London Theatre for a strictly limited summer season. Magical entertainment for young & old, The Elephantom is a wonderfully inventive mix of puppetry, movement, dance, music – & theatrical ingenuity. This adaptation of Collins’ picture book about the little girl who is unexpectedly visited by a big blue elephant, is the perfect summer treat for all the family. We have an Elephantom. He turned up on a Tuesday, just after tea-time... At first, the little girl is thrilled to have a ghost-elephant living in her house. He makes life so much more fun! But Elephantoms are a bit too big for houses & before long, he’s causing a lot of trouble. Come & join the fun, at an intriguing play for children (and grown-ups) that fuels the imagination & touches the heart. The story of one little girl & her larger-than-life friend is set to get very messy indeed.

Full of wit, cheek & farts.’ Guardian ★★★★ ‘ Wonderful. Anarchic.’ Sunday Times ★★★★ ‘ The National Theatre’s gloriously unsentimental new kids’ show works its puppet charms.’ Time Out ★★★★ ‘ Full of fun. Magical. The Elephantom, giant, jaunty, floating, pale-blue ghost elephant puppet.’ The Times ★★★★ ‘A delight for kids & adults alike.’ Evening Standard ★★★★ ‘ Mischievous. Mixing a delicate, ethereal magic with earthy gags about farting, mess & smells.’ Finical Times ★★★★ 'A story with a big, elephant-sized heart.' Daily Mail
