Friday 20 February

Through circus, physical theatre and fairytale-like storytelling, A Little Rain Must Fall transports you to a magical world of adventure, fun and colour.

Daisy is maid to the lady of the house. When dusting she discovers an enormous box that, according to the label, has been left for her mistress. However Daisy’s curiosity gets the best of her and she opens the box. From the box a troupe of brightly dressed performers appear, delighting Daisy with their tricks and stories. Although Daisy is warned that if she dares to open the box, a little rain must fall, she cannot resist opening the box again and again. But Daisy should have heeded the warning as the stories the performers tell become darker and lead to serious consequences.

The performers are captivating and engaging, skilfully creating their colourful world with energy and imagination. Apart from a few misbehaving props and a dress covered in plastic baubles that had a tendency to break off, A Little Rain Must Fall draws us into its own reality and keeps us there.

A Little Rain Must Fall runs until Sunday 22 February at 5:15pm. Tickets can be purchased here
