Amy Wyllie, Artistic Director of Spinning Wheel Theatre, said:
"We love performing this show in libraries - they're such fantastic, warm and welcoming spaces in the heart of the community, and the show always feels at home in this environment. Sometimes people feel that theatre isn't 'for them', but when we perform in libraries we're bringing something new into a space they're already familiar and comfortable with, and offers children a way of experiencing stories in a new, vibrant way."
About The Velveteen Rabbit
When the Velveteen Rabbit is unwrapped on Christmas morning, he quickly becomes just another thing gathering dust in the toy box. Shunned by the other playthings, who are braver, more glamorous and have expensive motors and flashing lights, he fears he’ll never be played with. But a chance encounter makes him the favourite toy, and with a little magic and a lot of love, he might even become real!
This spring, Spinning Wheel Theatre brings this beautiful tale life on stage by two actors, inventive puppetry and original songs. A joyful and uplifting tale of magic, friendship and hope, this is a show for all the family to enjoy!
