Hurtle into a time-travelling adventure featuring magical puppetry
Inspired by stories of plastic waste in the oceans forming their own floating islands, Zoe’s Peculiar Journey Through Time is touring the UK this Autumn, opening at the Southbank Centre in London. Every object in the production has been created from either found objects or non-single-use plastics. Directed by Sue Buckmaster and written by Jimmy Osborne with Sue Buckmaster this magical tale will be told through visual storytelling, dialogue, some use of BSL and puppetry.

Determined to find a way home, she seeks help from the Island’s three curious Scavengers and in a race against time, the Ancient Spirit of the Island sends them on a quest. Zoe sets off to explore, solving riddles, meeting wonderful creatures, and helping new friends out of trouble, all the while searching for a mysterious deep-sea treasure.Will she find her way home?
