Boxy and Sticky
Synopsis:
You know that old saying about how young children much prefer playing with the boxes their Christmas and birthday presents come in, rather than the toys themselves? The reason people say it so much is because it's so true. A big cardboard box can be anything you want it to be a boat, a table, a hiding place and that's exactly the starting point for Boxy and Sticky, a brilliant new children's theatre production for two to five-year-olds from Cardiff-based Theatr Iolo.

Flying The Nest is a squawking adventure that follows a young chick's frantic and funny journey towards independence, and his relationship with his fine-singing father. 3-6 year olds (and their big people) are invited to join the pair in the nest, where theyll learn birdsongs, perhaps share a worm supper, and get ready to take flight.
Notes:
Working in collaboration with early years specialist Sarah Argent and drawing upon their own work as multi instrumentalist-performers FINE CHISEL's Tom Spencer and George Williams explore a playful, non-verbal world inspired by real bird behaviour and song.

Luna
Synopsis:
An enchanting theatre experience about friendship, the moon and being brave in the dark for 2-5 year olds and their families. Luna is bored up in the sky by herself with nobody to play with. Although she is surrounded by stars, they never quite understand her - it's certainly lonely being the only moon. One night, as she's racing among the stars, she spots a young boy hiding from shadows which move like monsters on his bedroom walls. Luna decides to slide down from the sky to make friends with the boy. Together they go on an adventure of light and dark to help him overcome his fear of the night-time.
