Quentin Blake's Mrs Armitage on Wheels

play

Meet Quentin Blake’s magical, marvellous inventor extraordinaire, as she cycles at full tilt onto our stage.

Mrs Armitage is a brilliant and eccentric inventor whose wild and wonderful creations are always remarkably useful.

When she and her faithful dog Breakspear set off on a quiet bike ride to visit cousin Angela, she can’t stop thinking of ways to improve her bike. But after adding horns, snack trays, umbrellas, a dog bed and even a sail, will she ever get there?

Featuring puppetry and live music, this brand-new musical adaptation of the award-winning BBC animated series Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures, celebrates the power of imagination and the importance of community.

Presented by esk and Roast Productions. QUENTIN BLAKE’S MRS ARMITAGE ON WHEELS has been developed in association with Eagle Eye and Little Angel Theatre and based on the BBC animated series Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures, available on BBC iPlayer.

What is Quentin Blake’s Mrs Armitage on Wheels about?

Mrs Armitage enthusiastically upgrades her bicycle with horns, gadgets, and snacks, each new idea making the bike more outrageous. When everything collapses, she finds an even wilder way to travel, celebrating creativity, humour, and joyful problem‑solving.
