Arthur’s Club, a place where everyone is welcome, a place where stories come alive.
Arthur’s Club uses key word signing woven into the storytelling throughout, so sign and spoken word are intrinsically linked.
Join Cornish performer and Makaton teacher Rebecca Hulbert for an inclusive children’s theatre show featuring original stories written especially for Arthur’s Club by a team of award winning children’s storybook authors including James Henry (Hey Duggee, CBBC), Rebecca Cobb, (Missing Mummy, Aunt Amelia), Anna Wilson, (The Wide, Wide Sea), Naomi Jones, (The Perfect Fit), Anna Mansell (The Tempest, Trebah Gardens), and Craig Barr-Green, (Christmas in Cornwall). Stories From The Island is supported by Wildworks and directed by Wildwork’s Artistic Director, Mydd Pharo. Designed by Ellie Williams (Wildworks) with original music by composer Matthew Thomason.
Aimed at children aged 3-9, their grownups, and Makaton users, the show will take audiences on an adventure of imagination.
Running time – approximately 45 minutes.
Come see the show and join the Club…
