The Man Who Wanted to be a Penguin’s main character is an enthusiastic, energetic and curious man who spends the majority of his time tinkering in his shed inventing solutions to perceived problems. He is widely misunderstood, but is joyfully oblivious to others’ disdain and mockery, blindly dedicated to his own endeavours. The man is a pioneer fascinated by penguins and plans to meet them when he travels to the Antarctic. He learns to speak penguin language, and so does the audience, so that they can communicate with the penguins. When he arrives he joins a community that works differently to the one he knows at home, and that accepts him.

The Man Who Wanted to be a Penguin explores individuality, being different, learning to communicate, and fitting in. Overall it is humorous, joyful, full of energy, exploratory and works for people of all ages. It is authentic and sometimes challenging, it is not just a cute story about fluffy penguins! The first half of the show is set in the man’s garden, and the second half in the Antarctic.

The Man Who Wanted to be a Penguin features puppets, acting, movement, song and audience participation. It is full of humour, quirky songs and sound effects, interesting characters, relevant stories and infectious energy.
