ATTENBOROUGH AND HIS ANIMALS Will Get London Premiere in August

In this wonderful family friendly show, the magic of David Attenborough's natural history documentaries is brought to life on stage. A blue whale swims through the depths and racer snakes pursue an iguana across the desert.

When the great man himself doesn't show up for a live appearance with real animal guests, two hapless fools decide to save the day by bringing the largest range of animals you will ever see onstage to life in vivid detail.

This award-winning, five-star show is an epic display of clowning and physical theatre.

Clownfish created and perform the show and make their London debut with 'Attenborough and His Animals', following sell-out seasons in Perth and Adelaide (where the they won Best Theatre Show) and at the Edinburgh Fringe. They are Jonathan Tilley and Jess Clough-MacRae. They met at world renowned physical theatre school Ecole Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq and discovered their shared love of David Attenborough's documentaries. This spark of enthusiasm grew into this show featuring a massive range of moments from the documentaries.
