World Book Day: AHHHH! A show for early years

All 18 months to 4 Years Welcome!

Thursday 4th March 11am

The Irish Times - Review
.....Wordless enactment is also a feature of Ahhhh! , a show for children aged between 18 months and four years.
...The lone actor, Jay Ryan, proudly shows us his toys and plants, letting the children give his pet piggy a kiss. He blows bubbles, and cleans our shoes with a feather duster. Everyone present is charmed; indeed, two toddlers take to the stage to get a closer look at Jay’s toys. Produced by PigNut Productions, this is a thoroughly enjoyable – and aptly named – performance.
....fascinating to observe how their creators experiment with visual storytelling, a feature of theatre-making internationally. This makes theatre accessible to children who either haven’t learned to talk yet, or who are learning a second language.
