Audience feedback

"Oily Cart has created a wonderful show guaranteed to get the sparks flying in a small child's imagination."
Time Out

Following a Christmas run at Unicorn Theatre in 2010, Mole in the Hole toured UK venues in 2011. 

Meet the Mole Family in their cosy, underground home, lined with straw and strewn with sweet-smelling herbs. This is a wonderland with delights underfoot, popping out from the walls and even down from the ceiling. The Musical Mole fills the cavern with sounds as we journey to meet the Silly Rabbits, the Brave Snail and encounter some problems that the Moles will need your help to solve.

This is an adventure for all the senses to be enjoyed by all children from 3 to 6, their families and friends.
