Animal Rumble Grumble - an African tale

Whole Primary Musical Play with an African Animal Theme

£ 24.99   **Includes free performance licence for your school.**

Mysterious and Colourful Musical Production for ages 5 to 9

Animal Rumble Grumble is a 35+ minute musical play for ages 5 to 9, making it ideal for whole-school performance by infant, primary and first schools. This colourful, atmospheric show takes inspiration from a traditional Kenyan folktale. The animals of the plain are fearful of a strange distant rumbling.  “Something terrible is coming this way !  It will destroy us and take over our plains.”  The animals quickly seek the advice of Ghubari, a wise old man who lives at the top of the umbrella thorn tree. But his wise and cryptic words confuse them, so the animals find enough courage to seek out and confront the terrible danger that is coming closer.

Five Star Customer Review

We performed Animal Rumble Grumble at our school - it was a huge success. The writing was perfect for children with English as an additional language and all the children were in love with the songs! Just wanted to say thank you for your customer service when I phoned about delivery and licensing in December and say thanks for the excellent play!
