Lone Twin: Beastie

Who’s that hiding around the corner? What’s that moving in the trees? Did you just see what I saw? Take a magical adventure with Lone Twin this Easter Holiday.

Inspired by the imagination of young people Beastie is an innovative participatory performance for children aged 6 – 10.

The kids share a jaw-dropping secret and take charge as they create their own stories and explore their surroundings hand-in-hand with a very special new friend.  The result is a playful, active and engaging experience for small groups of children and one big surprise for adults!

Directed by Gregg Whelan and Gary Winters, Lone Twin are acclaimed for making an ever diverse range of intimate, hopeful and entertaining projects. Beastie combines this extensive theatrical experience with Gregg and Gary’s work writing for children’s television.
