Hatched - The Boggits

Synopsis:
Hatched is a series of fresh, new works-in-progress by artists who have a connection to the Albany. "It's Johnny 'Greeny' Greenteeth's 11th birthday and his dad, Danny, has been sitting in a tree in their garden, howling at the moon. . ." Boggits are just like us, only more so. They are spiky, argumentative, dangerous, unreliable, noisy and emotional. . .with pointy ears. Based on the BBC book, Boggart's Sandwich, by Martin Riley, The Boggits is a larger-than-life musical comedy for children and their families about being different and celebrating that difference.
