WILD
A Unicorn Production in association with How It Ended
Based on the book by Emily Hughes
"You cannot tame something so happily wild."
Wild’s home is the forest. Bears teach her how to eat, birds help her to speak, and foxes show her how to play. She is irrepressibly wild.
Then one day, some new animals arrive. They look oddly like her – and they want to take Wild away. But what if she was happy where she was?
Adapted from the glorious picture book by artist Emily Hughes, this energetic story, told with atmospheric sound, movement and puppetry, celebrates the free spirit in all of us.
Age guidance: 2-6
