The Plough Arts Centre is delighted that Quirk Theatre are flying back for their 5th annual visit

Visually beautiful, heartfelt and uproariously funny, Quirk Theatre tells the astonishing and true story of one very special pigeon who flew top secret messages home from France in World War Two. Perfect for KS1 & 2 and all the family this festive season.

Exeter based Quirk Theatre are renowned for their inventive and innovative approach to live theatre. Previous performances have wowed audiences with their use of projection, shadow puppetry, multifunctional props and creative set design.  Essentially simple, but beautifully effective, Quirk Theatre deliver a magical experience for all.

Relaxed Performance Thurs 1 Dec 1pm (House lights stay on, sound levels reduced, no loud or sudden noises, audience free to move around, breakout space available)

Running time 70 minutes
  • ‘Quirk Theatre know perfectly how to create that magical blend of unmissable fun, laughter and audience participation’ Express & Echo
