WhAT WilL GeOrGE Do?
How to watch work?
George sees something in the kitchen. It’s cake! ‘I said I’d be good’, George thinks, ‘but I LOVE cake’. What will George do?
‘What Will George Do?’ is a brand new ‘choose your own adventure’ version of our original stage show – giving you the control over George’s choices. Will he dig up Harris’ flowers? Will he chase the cat? Will he eat the cake? It’s up to you!
Suitable for everyone aged 3 and up, it is divided into five short episodes, which can be played in a single sitting or one at a time.
The five episodes are available to watch below.
If you have any problems head down to our Frequently Asked Questions, or watch our simple explainer video here.
