The Colour of Dinosaurs.
The Colour of Dinosaurs is a musical family show that explores and explains the discovery of fossilised melanin and how that can determine what colour dinosaurs actually were.
It celebrates being different and friendship and also offers fascinating scientific facts. The show premiered at Bristol Old Vic in 2023 and went on to do a run at The Polka Theatre 2024 and in February half term 2025 it was part of the Imagine festival at the Southbank Centre, as well as many more dates in the coming year.
“There are roars of delight at the chaos caused when Vilk – wearing an ingenious dinosaur costume – races around the auditorium in search of lunch”
