Welcome to the beautifully strange world of White. Full of birdsong and birdhouses, it gleams and dazzles and shines in the night. Two friends look after the birds and make sure the eggs stay safe. We watch, we help. The world is bright, ordered and white.
But high up in the trees, something’s different – everything isn’t white. Colour appears. First red… then yellow… then blue…
Presented by Catherine Wheels, White is a playful, highly visual show for very young children and is a perfect first time theatre experience.
