THIS IS MY THEATRE presents 'Five Children & It' by E. Nesbit

About

We are delighted to introduce This is My Theatre, who will be bringing 'Five Children & It' by E. Nesbit to an Open-Air Theatre production at Bowood House & Gardens.

TICKETS ON SALE Saturday 24th August AGED 4+ YEARS

Based on the classic children's novel by Edith Nesbit – with live music and puppetry throughout – children and adults alike will love this ever-popular story reimagined for the stage.

Written by Edith Nesbit, Adapted by Ethan Taylor. Directed by Chloe Bond, Music by Simon Stallard

The five children – Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and their baby brother, known as the Lamb – are playing in a gravel pit one morning when they uncover a rather grumpy and sometimes tricky Psammead, a sand-fairy with the ability to grant wishes. Join them on their adventures as they learn what it is to be careful what you wish for!
