Flyaway Katie is an inspiring flight of fancy about the power of imagination based on the popular children’s book by Polly Dunbar with music by Tom Gray of Gomez.

Katie is all alone and feeling grey. The birds in the picture on her wall look so colourful-if only Katie could be as bright as them, who knows what might happen?

The show is bursting with colour, movement and surprises, with puppets of varying scales acting the story.

The show is aimed at 2-7 year olds and will be 35mins of pure joy followed by 15 mins ‘meet the puppets’.
