The Irish Times

★★★★
"A simple take simply told, making for a joyfully delightful, A+ experience" 
The Arts Review

This is a story about an ant called Amy (an award-winning ant one might add), her brother Andy and a Brown Spider.

Amy the ant works very hard. When she wins the Employee of the Month Award, Amy feels a happiness that drives her to work even harder. But is she truly content? With the help of the Brown Spider, Amy learns to find true happiness by appreciating the world around her and celebrating her brother’s memory in the everyday.

Please note this show very gently refers to sibling loss.
