Every Thursday, Stinkie visits Professor Bombelbos's house to help with the cleaning. This particular Thursday is special: it is the Professor's birthday, the first since the passing of his beloved wife.
Before leaving to complete an urgent scientific experiment, the Professor gives Stinkie a simple list of three tasks. Alone in the house, Stinkie's curiosity soon takes over. Watering the flowers becomes a flood, cleaning turns into play, and the cake becomes impossible to resist.
What follows is a series of hilarious physical adventures where ordinary household chores spiral into delightful chaos. Every time the Professor returns, he discovers a disaster. Yet beneath the laughter lies a touching story about loneliness, kindness and human connection.
Created through an extensive devising process, Stinkie, Don't Touch! combines clowning, physical theatre, visual storytelling and audience interaction to create a joyful theatrical experience that speaks directly to young audiences.
