Brand New from Arty-Fact Theatre Co. for KS1 & KS2 Touring Schools from Sept 2023
Ben finds himself on a time travelling adventure, suddenly being taken back to the year 1946! One minute, he’s putting aside his iPad to read his grandad’s old diaries in the dusty attic at the top of his family’s home, the next he’s an evacuee carrying his gas mask & about to board a train to escape the air raids.
Surprisingly, this incredible day immersed in the world of WW2 teaches Ben important lessons about how to deal with the worries & issues he faces in his present day life.
A brilliant, fun show for children aged 4 to 11 years, looking at the issues surrounding bullying. But also a wonderful insight into everyday life for children in WW2, including the opportunity to see real artefacts from this period and for the whole school to join the sing-along to the classic Pack Up Your Troubles (in your old kit bag…).
An important but great fun production for primary aged children.
Touring autumn 2023, £445 + VAT.
