DR. ZEIFFAL, DR. ZEIGAL AND THE HIPPO THAT CAN NEVER BE CAUGHT! by Mouths of Lions
A Joyous Family Show for all ages
‘Hippo’ was first commissioned by Jim Jam Arts for the 2015 Folkestone Living Advent Calendar. Prehistoric hippopotamus remains have been discovered by archaeologists from all over England, including London, Folkestone and most coastal towns. This inspired Georgia Murphy, Louise Dickinson and Oliver Weatherly to devise a show about the hunt for the Wild Hippo of the United Kingdom of England and so Dr. Zeiffal, Dr. Zeigal and The Hippo That Can Never Be Caught! was born!!
