Five
Reasons why you should bring the kids to see Play Dough
Play Dough
Washington
Arts Centre
Thursday
14th April 2016
Unlimited
Theatre will be arriving at Arts Centre Washington on Thursday 14th
April with their new show, Play Dough, which is all about money,
and here are five reasons why you should bring the whole family along to see it
– you might just learn a thing or two!
The
play follows two cousins, Queenie and TooMuch, and through plenty of fun and
games looks at the meaning of money and what might happen if it didn’t mean
anything at all.
After
the financial crash, Queenie’s family lost all their cash, so instead of
enjoying their lavish life in London, they are forced to move
in with relatives in Edinburgh.
But
Queenie can’t understand just where all her banker father’s money went, so she
enlists the help of her cousin, Too Much, to find out.
Along
the way, the audience have the chance to take part in a series of interactive
games that will explain how money really works. And the loser gets a pie in the
face!
If
that doesn’t persuade you, here are five reasons why you should come and enjoy
the show:
The
fantastic cast
Unlimited
Theatre do a great job of making their subject matter accessible for the whole
family. But it’s the cast who really get the audience engaged, with their sheer
enthusiasm and spark, they have the crowd chanting their names in no time!
It
will bring out your competitive side
When
you come to see Play Dough, the audience will be split in half, with one side
on Queenie’s team and the other with Too Much. Some of the audience will get to
go up on stage and take part in the games while the rest of the team cheer them
on.
But
be warned, once the games begin, you will want to win – and there’s no
cheating allowed!
You
get to play with real money
Have
you ever seen 10,000 real pound coins?
Not
only will you get to see what they look like in real-life, you’ll get to play
games with them too. But sadly, you can’t take them home afterwards…
The
whole family will learn something new
Play
Dough is a lot of fun, but it will also teach you a lot about how money works
and how bankers make investments. The show is written in a clever way that uses
the games to explore the world of banking, but the best thing is that you can
simply enjoy the fun side of the games, or you can be inspired to think about
where your money comes from and what would happen if it didn’t exist.
When
else would you get to give someone a pie in the face?
One
team has to lose, and that means that either Queenie or Too Much will be having
a close encounter with a custard pie. Who gets it, is up to you!
