That’s the scenario for this dazzling black-light-and-neon underwater quest. This Winnipeg puppet production is populated with no fewer than 11 glow-in-the-dark characters, including a lively lobster and a too-handy octopus. Some work on the script could make the discovery of the Wonderstar and the lesson of the story quite a bit more satisfying, but most kids will be too preoccupied with the visuals and the fart jokes to mind very much.

From the official Fringe Festival program:

This is puppet theatre unlike any other!

Join Dodger the angelfish and his best friend Beau on a "blacklight" underwater adventure. Get swept away by the colourful song and dance of glowing seahorses, eels and jellyfish who guide Dodger and Beau closer to the mysterious wonderstar.
