The Smeds and The Smoos

A stellar show based on the book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler 

A joyful tale of star-crossed aliens

Soar into space with this Olivier Award-nominated adaptation of the much-loved book by superstar duo Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

On a far-off planet, Smeds and Smoos can't be friends. So when a young Smed and Smoo fall in love and zoom off into space together, how will their families get them back?

Music, laughs and interplanetary adventures for everyone aged 3 and up, from Tall Stories – the company who brought you The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom live on stage.

"Magnificent… a tour-de-force family show."

Relaxed Performance and Touch Tour

Sun 5 October 11am

Relaxed performances are specially designed to provide a supportive environment for children and adults with learning difficulties, special needs or Autistic Spectrum Condition. The performances are open to everyone but will be particularly suited to these groups.

What happens at Relaxed performances?

The auditorium lights will be kept low throughout the show and any loud noises on stage will be softened.
Audience members may leave or re-join the performance at any time and staff will be on hand to help out.
A visual story can be downloaded in advance (see below) to explain what to expect from the performance and how to find your way around the theatre.

There will be a chill-out area set aside for those who need time out from the performance.

If you'd like any further information on Relaxed performances please speak to a member of our Box Office on 01962 840 440.


Touch Tours take place 1 hour ahead of a performance and allow the audience members to visit the set and feel the props to familiarise themselves ahead of the show.
