ABOUT

ZOË AND THE GNOMES

An Adventure of Zoë the secret helper

Presented by Louise Duhain


A fascinating story and show for the whole family!


Zoë and Emma love to go on adventures where they meet the most incredible characters! But first let’s introduce the lead character in this show.

 

Zoë is not your typical neighbourhood cat; she is a secret helper who gladly helps out all in need but more specifically, our beloved mystical characters who can’t get help from humans. Her adventures are always full of mystery, excitement and fun; and can be enjoyed by young and old.


Zoë could have been spotted in Zoë Saves Christmas which was staged at National Children’s Theatre in December 2020, where she ensured that we could all have a fantastic Christmas in the years to come. 


In this adventure, Zoë and her owner Emma find themselves going on an exciting adventure with Zoë’s friends the Gnomes! They agree to help them out in finding the best mushroom yet for their Winter Festival, but unexpected events causes chaos and could lead to a catastrophe! Luckily, Zoë and Emma are there to save the day and all should be well again in the world of the Gnomes… or will it? Come and find out!


Created and Directed by Louise Duhain, this show is the perfect outing for the whole family.
