Welcome to the world of White.

 

Full of birdsong and birdhouses, it gleams and dazzles and shines in the night.

 

 

Two friends look after the birdhouses and make sure the eggs stay safe.

 

The world is bright, ordered and white.

 

 

But high up in the trees, all is not white.

 

Colour appears.

 

First red… then yellow… then blue…

 

White is a playful, highly visual new show for very young children and is a perfect first-time theatre experience.
