Stuck for entertaining the kids this Easter? Look no further! The Met has two fantastic interactive kids shows for the over 5s performed by award winning theatre companies.
Stig of the Dump on Saturday 23 April at 2.30pm gives children the chance to be the star of the show! Performed by Image Musical Theatre Company, the story explores Clive King’s story of Barney and his Neolithic friend Stig.
Is Stig real or is he the product of Barney’s boyhood imagination? Lou sees Stig, and so do lots of other people, but does this mean they really do go back in time to the building of the stone circles? This wonderful musical production of this famous story, has lots of opportunity for the audience to take part and is a truly magical experience. Image Musical Theatre has an unrivalled reputation for producing the very best of family theatre.
