A rollicking, heart-warming tale for everyone is touring the UK and can be seen on the Torch Theatre stage this half term! Nominated for FOUR OffWestEnd Awards at this year's Offies, this musical adaptation of the award-winning children’s book will delight audiences young and old with beautiful puppets, catchy tunes and an uplifting tale of self-acceptance for all the family.

Gertie is great at being THE LITTLEST YAK, with the CURLIEST, WHIRLIEST wool and the GRIPPIEST of hooves for clip-clopping up cliffs. Only, Gertie doesn’t want to be the littlest. She’s in a rush to grow up and be just like THE BIG YAKS. But what if there are some things that only a GERTIE can do? A gorgeous story celebrating YOU being perfect…just the way you are!

The wonderful show has received rave reviews with audience members saying it was “Just so pure and lovely. Truly a delightful little show. My daughter keeps asking to “go back to yaks” over and over again…She loved seeing the different musical illustrations and the scene under the stars made my heart glow. We both really loved it.” Another audience member said: “We ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS! Saw it today, amazing production, beautiful story told by super talented actor musicians, brilliant puppetry, stunning set, just gorgeous and of course superbly directed! GO SEE IT!”

Kent-based theatre company, LAStheatre, brings The Littlest Yak, produced by Liz Bate, to the stage in spectacular fashion with a great cast of Megan Ashley, Isobel Horner, Charlie Limm and Eloise Richardson. Join them for a dazzling adventure, into the heart of the Himalayas, that is sure to get even the grumpiest of yaks laughing.
