“I’ll swap you my dad,” I said.
“Oh-Oh,” said my sister

An exciting, new interactive performance for younger primary school audiences ages six and upwards.

The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish is a humorous, theatrical adventure, which is a little bit about being a sibling, and a little bit about being a genius. It is a new stage adaptation of the popular children’s picture-book by bestselling author and illustrator, Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean.

Tom and his little sister think Dad is so boring that they swap him for two goldfish! When Mum finds out, she’s not best pleased and Tom and his little sister have to ’GO GET DAD BACK!’ Pupils and their teachers are invited to help Tom and his sister on their mission to get Dad back.

Unfortunately though, it’s not that simple. Nathan doesn’t have Dad any more. He swapped him for Vashti’s electric guitar. And Vashti swapped Dad, with Blinky, for a Gorilla mask. And Blinky swapped Dad, with Patti, for Galveston the rabbit. And Patti lives a very, very long way away.
