Sabotage Theatre: After the Rain: A Magical Puppet Show (Great Parndon)
Join fearless six-year-old Ivy on a magical, musical mission to discover who comes out After the Rain.
When Ivy answers the call of a stranded worm, she embarks on a wild romp through the damp forest. Pursued by a council of crows, encountering singing snails, getting tangled in a mycelium web…will Ivy make it home again in time for tea?
This free family puppet show with original music will take young children on a magical journey which will open their eyes to the natural world around them.
Performances are 40 minutes.
Supported by the Essex County Council Arts and Cultural Fund and Arts Council England.
