Claytime

claytime
Thursday 26 March
11.30am | £5

A play with clay for children aged 3 - 6, where the audience is invited to take part. Claytime is a place where the earth’s natural material meets with children’s imaginations: a world of fabulous forms, amazing animals and morphing monsters.

Two performers comically explore the exciting medium of clay and ask kids to think of ideas for characters and stories. Based on the children’s input, the actors improvise a fun and totally unique play.

There is also a chance for children to have hands-on Claytime themselves!

The smash hit stage show, based on the award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, comes to the Queen’s following a sell-out national tour and West End run.

‘Monstrous fun!’ Daily Mail

Join Mouse on a magical, musical, adventure through the deep dark wood. Mouse can scare hungry animals away with tall stories of the terrifying Gruffalo, but what happens when he comes face to face with the very creature she imagined? Meet a wheeler-dealer Fox, an eccentric old Owl, a maraca-shaking, party-mad Snake… and, of course, The Gruffalo!

Songs, laughs and scary fun for children aged 3 to 300!
