The I Want My Hat Back Trilogy opens TODAY at @polkatheatre in Wimbledon!

This show means the world to me. It’s not just a production — it’s the beginning of my story.

We would love for you to join us by making your very own cardboard fish puppet — any shape, any style, anything you like — and bringing it along when you come. Your fish will actually become part of the show! (And you can head over to Polkas YouTube channel for a more in depth making video!)

This beautiful, award-winning show was originally developed by me (Sam Wilde) and the brilliant Ian Nicholson with the incredible team at @littleangeltheatre. It was the show that changed everything for me — the moment I realised I could be a designer, a puppet maker… an artist.. like over 15 years ago now!

Then, during the pandemic, the digital version reached so many hearts — including mine again — and launched me into the work I’m doing today.

Now it’s live again and back in a theatre, and not just any theatre POLKA!!

With over 100 cardboard puppets, it’s 40 minutes of theatrical perfection. And like… it’s really good.

So please, come see it. Bring your fish. Be part of it. Support theatre. Support the arts.

I can’t wait to see what you create — and I promise you won’t regret it.
