Information for Venues
This show tells the story of a boy who goes off on an adventure – and returns with knowledge and power to make his world a better place to be. Combining simple theatre and science ‘magic’, the story, characters and emotions depicted will have relevance to children’s everyday lives, and will resonate through home and school life.
The production is conceived as a 2 person small scale touring show, that is quickly set up and performed in non-theatre venues with minimal lighting. Workshops and activity packs will also be available to schools and venues alongside the production.

•an activity pack for families and teachers.
