Me & My Bee
Our fuzzy little friends need our help and so we’re launching a political party disguised as a party party disguised as a show.
Multi award-winning theatre company, ThisEgg, invites you to save the world - one bee at a time. A new comedy for children and adults alike. Plant the seed for change, join the Bee Party. Before it’s too late…
