Shona Reppe's Potato Needs a Bath

Potato has mud on his face. Potato has mud in his ears. Potato needs a bath (just don’t get soap in his eyes!)

About

Age suitability: 3-5
Running time: 55 minutes

There is going to be a party and everyone is ready – except Potato.

Onion is practicing his guitar, Aubergine is wearing her new necklace and Peach is bouncing on the bed with excitement.
Potato needs a bath – but he has other ideas – because Potato loves mud!

Meet Maris Piper and her fruit and vegetable friends in this colourful combination of live and pre-recorded performance based on the much loved theatre show, then join the fruit and vegetable party of the year live online.

Potato Needs a Bath (digital) is based on the original theatre show by Andy Manley & Shona Reppe and was commissioned by Theatre in Schools Scotland, a National Theatre of Scotland and Imaginate partnership.

Get ready for the party:
Children are encouraged to bring a fruit or vegetable friend to the party. We will send you instruction videos in advance with suggestions of what to make to get ready for the vegetable party.
