Performances – Wednesday 29 April – Sunday 3 May
Duration – Approx. 60 mins (including stay and play)
Age Recommendation – Ages 0-18 mths

A Tiny & Tall production

New performances just added! Saturday 2 at 3pm & Sunday 3 at 3pm.

Sleep is like an old friend I’ve not seen for a long time. She’s stopped returning my calls. But some nights feel sort of magic. Just you and me watching a new day being born.

Ivy’s just had a baby. She’s never felt so full of love – or so alone. Days (and nights) can be tough. But she’s working it out.

A Tale of Us is a brand new play for parents and their babies. Join Ivy and her little one on a funny, frank and magical journey through their first year of life together. Blending drama and multi-sensory playtime in a relaxed and beautifully designed environment, this is a celebration of the wonder, joys and challenges of becoming a new parent.

After each performance there will be a guided stay and play session – a chance for everyone to explore the world of the show and meet other parents and babies.

Made for parents with children ages 0-18 months.
