The setting and music was dark at times so the recommended age of eight + is appropriate, and an explanation of the story beforehand may be a good idea if not familiar with the book. The prediction of what greed and industrialisation can do to our fragile little world is creatively and vividly explored on stage. The kids were transfixed, and likely to be discussing environmental issues back in the classroom this afternoon.</p> <p>Imagine a dance version of Baraka, with WALL-E (yes, Disney) reinvented as a little critter by Tim Burton - you’ll know what we mean when you see it.</p> <p>If you miss it this weekend, it will be on in Stratford in a few weeks. Well worth booking. <a href="http://www.urbanexplorer.com/newsletters/sat-18th-sun-19th-may-2013/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.urbanexplorer.com/newsletters/sat-18th-sun-19th-may-2013/" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.urbanexplorer.com/newsletters/sat-18th-sun-19th-may-2013/" target="_blank">http://www.urbanexplorer.com/newsletters/sat-18th-sun-19th-may-2013/</a></a></p>http://blog.urbanexplorer.com/post/50649085927http://blog.urbanexplorer.com/post/50649085927Fri, 17 May 2013 13:54:00 +0100varmintslondonlondon for kidssadlers wellstheatrebristolkidsenvironment<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0b3e2420331b1a568482cd41b7fb4bc7/tumblr_mmw041jo1w1rpvlh6o8_500.jpg"/><br/> Hannah Shaw illustration - The Disgusting Sandwich<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6d909fb34bf0e6e14a288d1578dbf27a/tumblr_mmw041jo1w1rpvlh6o9_500.jpg"/><br/> Varmints - Lilian Baylis Theatre<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/3a6158981fb42d2212e80b6846bf451a/tumblr_mmw041jo1w1rpvlh6o2_500.jpg"/><br/> The Jelly that Wouldn't Wobble - Sarah Horne illustration<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ee466e02450a4a2397a4b1aecef9cd2a/tumblr_mmw041jo1w1rpvlh6o3_500.jpg"/><br/> ITCH - Simon Mayo<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e00b909d7a34faf01d7085b653f63b1f/tumblr_mmw041jo1w1rpvlh6o4_500.jpg"/><br/> Archikids Festival<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d9e2067b842f28be99d5802c5bf92446/tumblr_mmw041jo1w1rpvlh6o5_500.jpg"/><br/> Hermes at Saatchi Gallery<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6d53f8945499df5190bf23ad7461ec18/tumblr_mmw041jo1w1rpvlh6o7_500.jpg"/><br/> Peggy Poppleton at Palace Art Fair<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/15e1682d2b99afe45f11c3f54dd56780/tumblr_mmw041jo1w1rpvlh6o6_500.jpg"/><br/> Little Howard<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/2224c5c92ef061a3ff9bb6d30f0494ea/tumblr_mmw041jo1w1rpvlh6o1_500.jpg"/><br/> Dulwich Festival<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ba985e023246b2cd06f07e9bf9feb76f/tumblr_mmw041jo1w1rpvlh6o10_500.jpg"/><br/> Wandsworth Art Festival<br/><br/> <p><a href="http://www.urbanexplorer.com/newsletters/sat-18th-sun-19th-may-2013/" title="Weekend Top Ten | London for kids" target="_blank"><strong>Weekend Top Ten | London for kids</strong></a></p> <p><em>May 18th - 19th, 2013</em></p> <p>Fete season continues, and there are several to choose from in every corner of London.
