Una Imagines

​

There’s a surprise waiting for you when we get home…
A world of possibility explodes in Una’s mind.
A pet giraffe, a trip to the circus, we’re moving to space!


Join Una on a fantastical, imagination filled walk home from school, as she ponders the possibilities of what could be waiting behind the door.


Una Imagines is a new winter production for 4–8-year-olds and their families all about the anticipation, excitement and trepidation of the unknown.

Tortoise in a Nutshell in co-production with WHALE Arts Agency and supported by Lyra conjure a multi-sensory imaginative journey through puppetry, immersive sound and magical world creation.
