The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck at Lathallan School

Lathallan families, friends, locals and visitors - all are welcome to join us for this outdoor theatre production in July!

New for 2024, Quantum presents a delightful new adaptation of Beatrix Potter’s much-loved tale - The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck - in the grounds of Brotherton Castle at Lathallan School.  

Prevented from hatching her eggs at the farm, foolish Jemima goes in search of a nesting place in the forest and soon she meets a charming ‘gentleman’ who offers her the perfect nesting place in his wood shed.

But why is his wood shed full of feathers and why is he asking her to collect the herbs for roast duck?

Back at the farm, the Collie-dog, Kep, puts two and two together, but will he be in time to rescue Jemima from her fate?

Following the success of our adaptation of The Tales of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny, Quantum Theatre turns to another Beatrix Potter classic to bring you a brand new show for summer 2024, aimed at all the family. The show will provide a fun, dramatic and magical couple of hours for our audience, with humour, drama and live music to delight and entertain.
