Moonbeam on a Cat’s Ear promo video from Jabuti Theatre on Vimeo.

In the middle of the night Rosie, Toby Toby, the cat and the mouse sneak out to play in the shadow of the apple tree. When Toby Toby steals the moon from the sky they go on an adventure across the stars and the sea.

But, was it all just a dream?

Jabuti Theatre’s adaptation captures the beauty and detail of Marie-Louise Gay’s illustrations using puppetry, physical theatre and magical light boxes and brings it all to life with a mesmerising original musical soundscape and score. Using only the text from the book, this is a simple, yet visually compelling story about two children and their adventure with the moon.

“It is an ingenious gem aimed at wee ones but a joy for anyone whose inner child still lurks near the surface.” ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ – Irene Brown, Edinburgh Guide
