Home Song Pre-Show Information
About the Show
A Journey of Sound and Colour: Home Song invites you and your baby on a multi-sensory adventure, featuring captivating puppetry, interactive soundscapes, and a cappella singing. It's a beautiful way to introduce your little one to the magic of theatre and explore the journey of a young girl and her mother from Ghana to London.
Interactive & Immersive: You and your baby will sit together on the floor in a semi-circle, creating a cozy and engaging atmosphere. We recommend one adult per baby within the performance space.
Playtime Fun: The show is approximately 30 minutes long, followed by 20 minutes of playtime! Your little one will have the chance to explore and interact within the yellow frame, with lots of baby-safe objects to discover.
Seating Options
- We encourage adults to sit with their babies on the floor for the best experience.
- Additional adults can join the fun from the bench beside the play area.
- A seating bank is available for those who require back support.
Shoe-Free Zone: Please remove shoes, coats, and bags before entering the performance space. Shelves will be provided for storage.
