Theatre Fideri Fidera will be at Brighton’s Komedia from December 21-29 with Ugg ’n’ Ogg and the World’s First Dogg .

Writer Colin Granger said: “Thousands of years ago in the fresh, sparkling world just after the last Ice Age there were no dogs; there were wolves but we didn’t like them and they didn’t like us. Luckily for us, along came two young hunter-gatherers Ugg ’n’ Ogg who palled up with the wolves Tooth ’n’ Nail to embark on a fun-packed adventure involving flying meat bones, beat-boxing wolves, forest infernos and a time travelling stick before finally getting the chance to pat the world’s first Dogg!”
