★★★★

Smart, sensitively handled and – crucially – a lot of fun

The Guardian

A joyful, kaleidoscopic family show about change, why change happens – and how we can deal with it.

The world has ever so slightly shifted. Things are… different, and no one else has noticed. Time feels strange and no one day is the same.

Wait. Was that an actual zebra crossing the zebra crossing?

In a show that combines humour, physical theatre and spoken word elements, young people are encouraged to reflect on recent years and share their hopes for the future.

Created by award-winning theatre company Rhum + Clay, made in consultation with a child psychologist and children across London.

Created by Rhum + Clay, commissioned and co-produced by New Diorama Theatre and supported by British Land and Camden Council

★★★★

a delightful production that delivers an important message about our planet
