by Tim Crouch
Poor Effy. Sent to live with her aunt and uncle in a block that won’t allow dogs. What’s a girl to do? She smuggles her furry friend in, of course. Keeps him under a blanket. Feeds him biscuits. Ssh Toto, quiet.
But it can’t last forever. Effy needs saving. And Toto is up to the task.
Experienced through headphones, Toto Kerblammo! mixes live and recorded performance to deliver a tender and powerful story about listening, friendship and finding hope in the darkest of places.
