Mavis Sparkle
Washington Arts Centre
Friday 24th
February 2017
Reach for the stars and join internationally
renowned M6 Theatre Company as they bring Mavis Sparkle, their magical
production of wonder and discovery, to Arts Centre Washington on Friday 24th February.
From the team behind the acclaimed
One Little Word and Whatever the Weather, this cosmic show features an exciting
mix of illusion, captivating performance and animation and has been created
especially for children aged 4+ and their families.
With her cleaning trolley full
of secrets and surprises, Mavis is moving ever closer to making her dreams come
true. All she needs is a little help from her cheeky cuckoo clock, mischievous
mop bucket and Spike the hedgehog, to journey north and see nature’s biggest
light show with her own eyes.
The show’s writers, Dot Wood and
Gilly Baskeyfield expand: “Alongside children's stories of princes and
princesses, superheroes and villains, there are also wonderful, magical stories
of everyday characters with special qualities, dreams and adventures. M6’s Mavis Sparkle is a story full of
laughter, transformation and joy. Mavis
reminds us that if we dust beneath the surface, we might find there’s magic in
the most unexpected places!”
The show is underscored by an original soundtrack
composed by Tayo Akinbode who has worked with numerous companies including the RSC, the National Theatre and Shakespeare’s Globe.
M6 Theatre Company, founded in 1977 and based in
Rochdale, is acknowledged as one of Britain’s leading touring theatre companies
specialising in creating and delivering high quality theatre for young audiences.
Their
2016 production of Whatever the
Weather (in
association with Polka Theatre) won an Off West End Theatre Award for the Best Production for Young People 0-7 Years.
