About this show
Owl lives alone in a cosy little home. With no one to talk to, Owl sings to himself and looks for ways to pass the time. Rudely awoken by his inconsiderate alarm clock, the calm day he had planned goes out the window. As his imagination runs away with him, ordinary objects begin to take on a life of their own and Owl finds an unexpected friend. Based on the illustrated children's book by Arnold Lobel this witty tale with music shows us how to embrace life… even when things go wrong.
