An exquisite, captivating instance of children’s theatre at its best. ★★★★
-The Herald

The blackbird sings to welcome the night.

 

The day slows and soon all are asleep.

 

All except one who cannot sleep.

 

A child, curious to know who looks after the night.

 

And so begins a magical journey through the dark and beautiful night until the black bird sings again to welcome a new day.

 

Scotland and Denmark’s finest artists making work for children are joining forces to create a new theatre performance for 3-6 year olds. Night Light will be a little theatrical poem, set within an installation, about darkness and children’s relationship with light.

 

"Quietly humorous and gentle, Night Light is a wonderfully imagined dream world. The entire team has created a cornucopia of wonder."
- Edinburgh Guide

"A beautiful immersive experience"
- The Scotsman

"A delicate and delightful work of object theatre"
- Sunday Herald
