There’s a surprise waiting for you when we get home…
A world of possibility explodes in Una’s mind. A pet giraffe, a trip to the circus, we’re moving to space!
Join Una on a fantastical, imagination-filled walk home from school, as she ponders the possibilities of what could be waiting behind the door.
Ahead of Christmas, Tramway presents this new winter production for 4–8-year-olds and their families, all about the anticipation, excitement and trepidation of the unknown.
Tortoise in a Nutshell with support from WHALE Arts Agency, North Edinburgh Arts and Lyra conjures a multi-sensory imaginative journey through puppetry, immersive sound and magical world creation.
Audience information
Una Imagines is 45 minutes long with a short post-show activity in the space.
It has been primarily created for ages 4-8 but families and siblings of all ages can enjoy the show.
Audience seating will primarily be on the floor with cushions and mats, but there will also be seats for anyone who requires one.
ACCESS
An access pack will be made available before these shows.
We encourage audiences to do what they need to be comfortable including stimming, using fidget toys, leaving and returning to the space when they need.
Originally created in co-production with WHALE arts Agency with support from Lyra and North Edinburgh Arts.
