About this event

Explore your magical future garden where you’ll meet a punk poet Dandelion, a rock n roll Minibeast and an operatic super Herb! DIY punk poetry gig theatre parents Brigitte Aphrodite and Quiet Boy offer a multi-sensory experience that subverts the early years genre through joyful rock n roll storytelling, celebrating a journey of nature and kindness. This calm pocket of punky joy explores a future full of hope, the wonders of the environment, and its unsung heroes.

PLEASE NOTE Key features include: Sensory-friendly spaces for neurodivergent and disabled audiences, including sensory props to play with. Ear defenders. Chilled spaces with a relaxed environment.

Pop-up banners and pre-show access tables with sensory materials and information. A digital visual story sent in advance to audiences alongside audio descriptions for what to expect.
