“I am certain that young audiences will love seeing Spot brought to life in this accessible and inclusive show,” said Thomas Merrington, Creative Director at Penguin Ventures.

Penguin Ventures has partnered with Sam Bradshaw Productions to develop a Spot’s Birthday Party live show that will tour the UK from February 2024.

Based on Eric Hill’s iconic lift-the-flap stories Where’s Spot? and Happy Birthday Spot, this interactive show will include games and dancing, with words and songs by writer and director Guy Unsworth.

“We are thrilled that Spot will be returning to the stage in this brand-new adaptation,” said Thomas Merrington, Creative Director at Penguin Ventures.

“I am certain that young audiences will love seeing Spot brought to life in this accessible and inclusive show. Guy Unsworth and Sam Bradshaw Productions have really created something wonderful in taking Spot from page to stage.”

Writer and director Guy Unsworth added: “Spot’s stories are filled with warmth, fun and lots of love so I can’t wait to share this timeless classic character on stage with songs, party hats and Spot’s animal friends.”
