An extraordinary Australian creature, the Bowerbird, and why it is so fascinated by the colour Blue.

Something’s gone missing again. It’s nowhere to be found. Mavis is looking everywhere. Every day a new thing seems to disappear. Little things: clothes pegs; a tea cup; a ball of wool. But then the thief takes it one step too far.

Mavis calls in a Detective to investigate. A stake out is required. In the dead of night, the Detective indeed finds something peculiar …  a glossy bird is sneaking into the house by night to take things! The Detective follows the bird and discovers a most beautiful nest: a bower with every kind of blue object carefully arranged. But why is he stealing? Your job is to help the Detective solve the mystery.

A Little Bit of Blue is an interactive solo show combining puppetry and clowning. As well as unravelling a mystery, it involves learning about the unique habits of an extraordinary Australian creature, the Bowerbird, and why it is so fascinated by the colour blue.
