Summary

A new surreal, physical theatre show with lots of laughs, tears and musical surprises…and bouncy poo!

Raheem finds himself in his childhood home one evening, packing away items into boxes. Steve, an old feathery friend turns up to help the son pack but ends up making an absolute magical mess of his memories! 

It’s a joyous, energetic, roller coster of a show, about the fun times we spend together, and how these memories stay with us forever.

Quotes (2022 school teacher responses)

“The children really enjoyed Physical Theatre. It is a style of performance that they were not familiar with therefore new and exciting. They really enjoyed the interaction with the performers both during and after the performance.”

“The children wished it had gone on for longer as they loved it so much!”

“The performance was fantastic. The children loved it. The cast members were engaging, and brilliant with the children after the performance as well.”

“It was a complete treat from start to finish! Wonderful welcome from Fay and engaging workshop. The performance was incredible- an immersive and hugely varied creative piece which took us all on a rollercoaster journey of emotions where laughing and crying come hand in hand.”
