Chickenshed at the Old Vic

Chickenshed is so excited to be bringing its hugely popular children’s show, Tales from the Shed  to the Old Vic on Thursday 26 May.

Tales from the Shed are vibrant, interactive theatre shows that are perfect for young children. They are informal, lively and amazingly engaging as the performers and audience share the same space – children are always encouraged to make a lot of noise and to make the story happen.

Every performance is different but features the same much loved characters – from Can-Can the beautiful bird to laid back Lion Down and The Thing That Goes Blurgh! New friends are also introduced each week.

Every Tales from the Shed performance  is fun, really silly and has plenty of colourful puppets and live songs.

The Old Vic, The Cut, London SE1 8NB £6, free to babies under 6mths Thursday 26 May 10am – 11am, 11.30am – 12.30pm  0-6yrs
