Hay! at Norman Bragg Studio Aylesbury tells a scarecrow's story through puppetry, clowning, song and dance. Find performance and ticket details.
Hay! is playing at the Norman Bragg Studio, Aylesbury. The show follows Farmer Geenie and a scarecrow she brings to life, told through music, clowning, song, dance and puppetry using just one spoken word throughout.
The entire production uses just one word, 'Hay!', yet draws many meanings from it. It names the straw inside the scarecrow, the sound Geenie makes when he stirs, and the cry of wonder as he encounters the natural world for the first time.
The story moves step by step through the scarecrow finding his feet, then his hands, then his voice, before discovering his love of movement and music. Puppet birds, butterflies and bees appear alongside eggs that each hold their own particular surprise.
The source describes the show as highly accessible, with its music-led, single-word storytelling woven through themes of growing up in the countryside and living your dreams. No specific age guidance or running time is listed in the available information.
