T Rex is coming to Edinburgh after a summer season in the West End playing at King’s Cross Theatre.
The show DINOSAUR ZOO is coming back by popular demand on its UK tour this autumn with a cast of prehistoric creatures, including one of the most ferocious predators to ever walk the earth, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, live on stage.
Offering great days out for the kids, DINOSAUR ZOO is coming to the Festival Theatre on 19 and 20 September. Shows are on Saturday at 11am & 2pm, Sunday at 2pm at Festival Theatre, 13/29 Nicolson St, EH8 9FT Box Office: 0131 529 6000 Tickets here www.edtheatres.com
DINOSAUR ZOO creators ‘Erth’ use ingenious puppetry to bring dinosaurs to life in an interactive and imaginative live show, suitable for all the family (ages 3+). Audiences are introduced to a range of creatures from cute baby dinos to teeth-gnashing giants. During the show, intrepid audience members brave enough to get up close and personal with the dinosaurs are invited on stage to assist the Zoo Keeper – but be warned – not all of these ravenous reptiles are as tame as they seem! Each performance concludes with a post-show ‘meat & greet’ session offering every audience member a chance to meet the dinosaurs in person.
Fast-becoming a worldwide hit, DINOSAUR ZOO has played to audiences across the globe, from Australia to Los Angeles, from New York City to Bahrain and across Europe, delighting children and parents with its mix of adventurous daring, informative learning and entertaining fun. DINOSAUR ZOO first roared into the UK in 2013, enjoying a hugely successful season at Regent’s Park Open-Air Theatre. The show has since continually toured throughout the UK; enjoying a Christmas season in the West End at the Phoenix Theatre in 2013, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2014 and most recently back in the West End at King’s Cross Theatre. Now on its fifth major UK tour, DINOSAUR ZOO introduces the T-REX to the regional stage for the very first time.
Australian-based Erth create original live theatre at the forefront of new performance practice, inspiring audiences with their unique and dynamic vision. Since its beginnings in 1990, the company has strived to provide audiences with eye-popping visual experiences incorporating, amongst other disciplines, giant puppetry and inflatable environments. Erth has performed internationally at events and festivals including the Sydney Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in 2000.
DINOSAUR ZOO is directed by Scott Wright, designed by Steve Howarth and performed by Shaun Morton, Jeremy Hancock, Rafe Young, Sophie McBean & Rhys Jennings. DINOSAUR ZOO is presented in the UK by BOS Productions Ltd and Nick Brooke Ltd.
