‘It’s impossible not to be charmed by the clever blend of comedy and song which celebrates in the zaniest possible way the playfulness of children, while giving them a rather sophisticated glimpse into the world of music.’
Cameron Woodhead, The Age, 3 October 2014
Miss Ivory Tinklefinger, Queen of Sleep, is hired to sing the audience to sleep, but tonight her music has a mind of its own.
Her lullabies come alive in an anarchic show that emerges like magic from under the lid of her ingenious grand piano. The consequences are wild – and irresistible to children and adults alike.
‘It’s visual theatre that sometimes feels like an opera and sometimes like a comedy. It's rich and beautiful, abstract and ridiculous. It’s genre-defying and absolutely empowering for children. We want them to feel a part of the show.’ Director Jessica Wilson
Perfect for children 4-10 and their families.
