An exquisite, captivating instance of children’s theatre at its best. ★★★★
The Herald

The blackbird sings to welcome the night.
The day slows and soon all are asleep.
All except one who cannot sleep.
A child, curious to know who looks after the night.
And so begins a magical journey through the dark and beautiful night until the black bird sings again to welcome a new day.

Scotland and Denmark’s finest artists making work for children are joining forces to create a new theatre performance for 3-6 year olds.  Night Light will be a little theatrical poem, set within an installation, about darkness and children’s relationship with light.   The show will premiere in Denmark in April 2017 and come to Scotland for a tour from 8 May before a weeks run at the Imaginate Festival.

Quietly humorous and gentle, Night Light is a wonderfully imagined dream world. The entire team has created a cornucopia of wonder. ★★★★★

A delicate and delightful work of object theatre ★★★★
Sunday Herald

[Night Light] works because of the ways in which it encourages the audience to engage imaginatively with what they’re watching
