Family festive theatre will return to Newhampton Arts Centre, Wolverhampton this December with family theatre showings of Snow Play. Expect a snowy spectacular and plenty of snowball fights for the whole family to enjoy.
Snow Play poses the question: what would you do if winter decided to stay and moved into your house, creating icicles in the kitchen and snow all over your bed?
The character of Mr Green represents spring. When he comes back from holiday to find Mr White (winter) in his house, it’s the start of a struggle as Mr White covers the whole house in snow and Mr Green does everything to get him outside into the garden.But it's getting warmer and, as Mr White stars to melt, the tables might be turning... Snow Play is a showdown between Winter and Spring over who gets to stay and who has to go away.
What follows is a perfect show for children aged three to eight, incorporating the best of physical theatre with mime and slapstick. There’s plenty of opportunity for the audience to get stuck in too, with their own snow, making a snowman and joining in with a huge snowball fight.
Snow Play is by UK based children’s theatre company, Lyngo. Their shows have delighted children and adults for over 15 years with their unique mix of fun, beautiful imagery, inventive use of props and an interactive approach to play, no matter the age of their audience.
Snow Play is at the Newhampton Arts Centre, Wolverhampton, on Saturday 10th and 11th December and runs for 1 hour. Children’s tickets cost £5.50 with a family ticket costing £24. Visit http://www.newhamptonarts.co.uk or call 01902 572090
