Welcome to
Birdlife Productions,
where the power of puppetry and a great story brings wonderment to children's lives.

In this high-tech fast-paced digital world, we offer a counter to ‘screen time’
that allows space in ‘real-time’ for children to watch, listen and reflect.
We create live theatre that uses a ‘handmade’ aesthetic, both sophisticated yet accessible,
where the (apparent) simplicity of our craft creates space for magic to happen!

“I found myself wiping away tears throughout
not out of sadness, but because their storytelling is so profoundly moving.
They transport you to a world where puppets become fully alive;
you forget the people behind them because their artistry is so seamless. Their performances feel rare in their perfection, and the compassion and authenticity in their voices speak to a deep truth at the heart of their work. 

If ‘life imitates art’ then I would very much like
to live in a world created by Birdlife Productions”
