We will create & tour a new early years theatre show: Twinkle Twinkle - a nocturnal journey. Inspired by 19th Century poem The Star, the show will follow a hare’s starlit quest to find home & sanctuary. We will work with a singer / DJ using loop pedals & live sampling, & audiences will be invited to sing together to create participatory polyphony to create the soundscape of the night sky.

"Front Room has hosted regular Playtime sessions since we opened over three years ago. Every show is full of joy and wonder and the interactive element of Playtime means that adults and children participate in the fun together. It is always a joy to be in the room at a Playtime session. Adults and children alike are dancing. playing instruments and moving around imaginary worlds on adventures with Ratty. We love Playtime and our audiences see Playtime as an integral part of our family offer" Adam Fuller, Co-creative Director, Front Room Weston-super-Mare
