How Long is a Piece of String?

This new show, written by Joseph Coelho and Tim Webb, and directed by Tim Webb is suitable for 2 - 6 year olds.

How Long is a Piece of String? is an interactive, multi-sensory production with astonishing visuals and original, live music, exploring and celebrating the wonders of string.

Following a trail of string, the audience are led into the performance area which will transformed into a woven wonderland. There will be levers to pull, pedals to push, stringy creatures to hold, a long loopy washing line and a series of of strange characters to encounter on a journey around the installation.

After a Christmas run at the Unicorn Theatre in London, the show will tour UK venues in January and February 2009.

This is a promenade performance with a limited capacity, so early booking is recommended.
