World premiere stage adaptation of Enid Blyton’s “SECRET SEVEN”, written by Glyn Maxwell, Storyhouse’s first Christmas show.
“…there’s enough derring-do, camaraderie, boisterous energy and moments of sheer magic throughout this vibrant show to more than make up for that. Courtesy of Matthew Hutchinson, there’s also a terrific puppet dog Scamper, who I defy even the most hard-hearted critic not to love.”

“Matthew Hutchinson’s puppet Scamper is simply delightful, and it’s model and real-life counterpart enters the stage to thunderous applause from both audience and cast at curtain call.”

“…puppet Scamper isn’t a bad substitute at all, in fact he is amazing! He looks so realistic and we see him communicating with his owners in barks. we think we hear “Mum” at one point to get her attention.”

“The 8th member of The Secret Seven, Scamper the Dog, is also brought to life in this performance. He’s an amazing puppet, so amazing that the little girl sat behind us asked “How is he moving?””
