Taking its inspiration from a poem by Robert Graves, ‘Through Nightmare’, the play tells a story of the hero’s mythical journey as a young child searches for his most precious possession, a star. The studio theatre is transformed into a magical landscape with cones of different materials and textures. An atmospheric lighting design and original musical score add to the richness of this inspiring piece of theatre for the very young.
“This is big theatre for small people”
