If you have kids under 8 and a slot in your half term schedule – go and immerse yourself and the little ones in a bit of culture and see Mrs Armitage and The Big Wave at the theatre.
It is a fast passed (only 1 hr long) multi sensory adaption of Quentin Blake’s popular book about a women and her dog Breakspear and the adventures they embark on at the beach. Simple but not boring!
Developed by The Gaga Theatre Company, they are touring London in October. We went to a viewing at The Tabernacle in Notting Hill.
Although that ship has sailed, Mrs Armitage will be at Clapham, Brixton & Chelsea (Royal Albert Hall is sadly sold out) this week and there are still a few tickets left.
I recommend reading the book before you go so they can you compare the book with the play (make it educational) and also the little ones will have a vague idea of whats going on.
Surprisingly, our 2 year old sat through it too, thanks to the bright lights, the huge interactive screen and the music.
That’s our theatre fix until Christmas….
