The delightfully captivating Hodman Dodmanott and Sally Forth, a wee pair of wonderful wanderers from the proud country of Oblivia.

Despite being completely oblivious (and proud of it) Hodman and Sally will adorably attempt to explain the new and baffling world around them. Children on parents' shoulders become jockeys riding slow witted beasts of burden, whilst people with cameras are seen as sorcerers bent on capturing their souls. The effect of meeting this unique and memorable couple is often described as 'spellbinding'- with people of all ages becoming completely enchanted by the ingenious illusion and witty personalities of the two characters. A totally heart-warming and magical walkabout performance.

"Hodman and Sally were adorable! I am surprised you made it back together, so many people wanted to take you home!"

Caron Wint, Manchester International Arts

"I was stunned... so original... the children and adults believed it entirely!"

Andrea Taylor, Thameside Metropolitan Council
