The Ultimate Pickle
Join Dill on an adventure through the unexpected surprises in life in this fun and bold new play for all the family at Summerhall this August!
About The Ultimate Pickle
A fun and bold new play for all the family!
Everything is awesome in Dill’s life. A loving mum, a loyal best mate, a granddad who plays the drums, and Jack Tornado: the oldest and best goldfish in the world.
But when a little ball of fluff falls from grandad’s book, everything changes forever. Could that be a... wolf!? Join Dill on an adventure through the unexpected surprises in life.
A new play by award-winning writer Laura Lindow, The Ultimate Pickle is about the importance of stories, the imagination, and how our little ones deal with grief. A show for all the family and any friendly wolves!
