A gentle puppet play for ages 2–5, directed by Joy Haynes, based on Tim Hopgood’s picture book.
A curious little owl stays awake to discover the colourful wonders of the daytime world in this stage adaptation of Tim Hopgood’s acclaimed picture book. From the early pink hues of dawn to the dazzling brightness of a full rainbow, the owl marvels at the vivid changes in the sky, the trees, and the clouds. But even with all the new discoveries, she ultimately finds the greatest beauty lies in the quiet magic of the night sky.
This production is directed by Joy Haynes, a specialist in children’s theatre. The set is designed by Fiammetta Horvat, with puppet design by Keith Jury. Music is composed by Dominic Sales, adding a lyrical layer to the visual storytelling. The show is creatively produced by Miranda Pitcher for Little Angel Theatre, a company known for its high-quality puppet-based productions for young audiences.
