Curious Investigators

One Tenth Human

We stopped an egg from smashing in this cracking adventure for children aged 3–7 and their grown-ups…

Scribble and Clipboard have a job to do: sort the recycling. But Scribble keeps finding new things to investigate. When she discovers a mysterious egg hidden in the rubbish, the pair needs the audience’s help to rescue an unborn chick. Can we save a mysterious egg from a smashing? And what will we discover along the way?

Curious Investigators is a cracking new adventure from the award-winning One Tenth Human, who make brain-stretching shows with extraordinary artists, scientists and kids. Created in collaboration with engineering experts from Lancaster University, audiences enjoyed this delightful, surprising and (sorry) egg-citing adventure for children aged 3–7.

Play and Share

And the investigations didn’t stop there! This cracking adventure also came with an optional bonus making session, straight after the performance, where little ones got to follow the actors’ lead and make their own scanners to take home with them.
