A light-hearted, gentle and highly visual treat featuring fruit, vegetables and original music.

Potato has mud on his face.
Potato has mud in his ears.
Potato needs a bath (just don't get soap in his eyes).

There is going to be a party and everyone is ready - except Potato. Onion is practicing his guitar, Aubergine is wearing her new necklace and Peach is bouncing on the bed with excitement. Potato needs a bath, but he has other ideas because Potato loves mud!

'Charmingly quirky show... A tonne of inspired silliness to delight the nursery-aged patrons.' (The Sunday Herald)

Suitable for ages three to five.

Duration approximately 35 minutes.

Praise for 'The Curious Scrapbook of Josephine Bean' by Shona Reppe, Edinburgh Fringe 2012
'This show is, quite simply, wonderful ... (it) has enchantment, quirkiness, humour, mystery, impressive production, and a hugely charismatic and skilful performance at its very big heart. It is something unique and special. You should see it.' ***** (Edinburgh Spotlight)

'A wonderful atmosphere and a touching finale that has everyone smiling and more than a few eyes welling up.' **** (The List)
