Varmints — Sally Cookson & Wilkie Branson
UK PREMIERE
Varmints is the brand new children’s dance theatre show, which tells the poignant tale of one small creature’s struggle to preserve a world in danger of being lost forever. Every day the city grows larger and the noise grows louder, until there is so much noise that no-one can hear themselves think.
Based on the award-winning book by Helen Ward with beautiful illustrations by Marc Craste, this thrilling production is choreographed by B-boy and New Wave Associate Wilkie Branson and directed by children’s theatre specialist Sally Cookson, who brought their brilliantly energetic Christmas show BOING! to Sadler's Wells Lilian Baylis Studio for a second time last year.
Find out more about the creative team behind Varmints:
Supported by Bristol Old Vic, Pavilion Dance South West, and Bridport Arts Centre with thanks to the Unity Trust.
Varmints comes to the Lilian Baylis Studio as part of a tour produced by Travelling Light Theatre Company.
Varmints is based on the book by Helen Ward and Marc Craste, with kind permission of Templar Publishing.
