Twinkle Twonkle
Spring/Summer 2010, UK tour. Ages 4+
About
How I wonder what you are…
Stella loves the stars. Every evening she gazes at them through her telescope. But one night her little brother Ryan wishes on a star, extends the telescope all the way and starts climbing up it.
Stella follows him. But something is wrong in the night sky. There’s Pegasus the flying horse – but there’s also a cow jumping over the moon. And the Great Bear and the Little Bear have been joined by a medium-sized bear…
Tall Stories, the company that brought you The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom, presents its latest show, for everyone aged 4 and up. Inspired by nursery rhymes and the Big Bang – stories, music and the mystery of space lift you up, up and away…
