Description

The Gardener has agreed to look after their friend's allotment. They're very excited to grow a plant. But there's a problem. All the instructions are lost! What is our gardener going to do...? Come and join in with a sun dance, a rain dance and some hilarious clowning around in a joyful show celebrating nature and things that grow. Children's storytelling for 0-5 year olds from award-winning theatre maker Niall Moorjani, developed with Diana Redgrave and Vickie Holden. Originally commissioned by Discover Children's Storytelling Centre.

A young family 57 days ago

This is such a sweet and beautiful show.
Niall was incredibly connected with the audience, building a strong connection and adapting according to reactions, making all ages feel comfortable and part of the performance.
The work that's gone into the set & props is brilliant.
There are good interactive elements and of course the opportunity to take a small something home was also incredibly exciting for little hands.
Our daughter was completely engaged and her face lit up later talking about it with us.

I’ll [...] be recommending Grow to audiences elsewhere if it gets the tour it clearly deserves.

Grow is a beautifully crafted performance for the under-fives. The kids take away both the inspiration and tools for starting their own tiny garden.
