A HANDFUL OF SAND
A play for children aged 7 and under and their families
10.30am and 1.30pm. ALL Tickets £6

"EXCELLENT! The children loved the songs, the opportunities to join in, the costumes and the characters! " Teacher, Newcastle-upon-Tyne
"Bursting at the seams with simple good humour, all served up with infectious enthusiasm!" The Stage
"I asked my six-year-old daughter what she thought and she simply said - I LOVED IT!" Parent, Cardiff

Slip into a world of magic and the unknown with Monster Productions when a child's sandpit games are magically transformed into a desert adventure, a place where ancient riddles, mysterious mirages and eastern adventures hide around every corner and nothing is quite as it seems. Take a flying carpet ride to meet the Teeny Weeny Genie and hear words of wisdom from a wise old camel called Jamal The-All-Knowing.

"Time is like a handful of sand, the tighter you grasp it, the faster it runs through your fingers."  

A brand new play for under 7s brimming with all the elements that you would expect from Chelsea Theatre's Christmas show: captivating storytelling, wonderful visuals, delightful comic performances, catchy songs and loads of fun participation.
