Monster Productions & Live Theatre Present: The Garden of Dreams

Written by Chris Speyer. Music by Ieuan Goch ab Einion. Directed by Paul James. Designed by Isla Shaw. Choreographed by Balbir Singh.

When mischievous Rat dares Kip to wake the Sleeping Giant, they have no idea of the trouble their game will cause. The Giant dreams every new thing that enters the world. Without his dreams no new flower opens, no egg hatches, no baby is born, no new story is told. How will Kip and Rat get the Giant back to sleep? What gift will they receive from the Monster in the Fridge? What advice will they be given by the Very Smelly Boot? Where will they fly with the Cow Who Eats the Clouds?

Join Kip and Rat on their mad, musical adventure and help them to find the magical Garden of Dreams.

Duration: 50 minutes with no interval
