Family Theatre @ Yate Library
South Gloucestershire Libraries, in collaboration with leading theatre companies the egg and Travelling Light, are bringing the very best theatre shows for children, young people and families to Yate Library, right on your doorstep. Families who have been to shows at the Family Theatre said:
“Brilliant performance. Could watch it again.”
“Lovely performance. Really important to have the theatre come to Yate for local child to have exposure to these events.”
“Brilliant performance. Captured the audience very well. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed it.”
To encourage everyone to come and try our new theatre venture out, we are asking you to pay what you want for our first performances. Simply watch the show and, at the end, put a donation in the bucket. Just pay whatever you think the experience deserves.
The egg and Margarita Sidirokastriti present Taking Flight
Saturday 15 June with performances at 11am and 2pm
Recommended for children 6+ and their families
Taking Flight chronicles the adventures of a young person who goes on an adventurous international journey away from home. Armed with only a backpack of favourite items, the child’s most treasured possessions help in some surprising and creative ways, to overcome many barriers along the way.
The story intriguingly and inventively is told via the use of minimal storytelling – a pen, a pad of paper and a global soundtrack – mapping the journey, evoking different landscapes and endowing its audience with a profound sense of what it is to be human and to have a place to call ‘home.’
