About

Tiny & Tall Productions, formerly Tessa Bide Productions, brings you Julia Donaldson and Sara Ogilvie's well-loved story, The Detective Dog on stage for Deaf and hearing family audiences.

Whether its finding a lost shoe or discovering who did a poo on the new gravel path, Nells ever-sniffing nose is always hard at work. So when the books at the school have disappeared one morning, Detective Dog Nell is ready to sniff out the culprit!

With British Sign Language, creative captions and spoken English, this engaging production celebrates books and the magic of reading in an inclusive and accessible performance. Expect captivating puppetry; surprising smells and toe-tapping music.

Suitable for ages 3-103.

Supported by Arts Council England.

This dramatisation of The Detective Dog is based on the picture book The Detective Dog Julia Donaldson and Sara Ogilvie 2016, published by Macmillan Childrens Books.
