Something Else
Feb-Apr 2010, UK tour. Ages 3+
About
What happens when Something meets Something Else?
In a small house on a windy hill lives Something Else. At least, that’s what everyone calls him when he tries to join in their games. Something Else is lonely…
Then, all of a sudden, Something shows up. Has Something Else finally met his match?
Based on the award-winning picture book by Kathryn Cave and Chris Riddell, internationally acclaimed Tall Stories presents this magical show about the fantastical friendship between two unusual creatures.
Storytelling, upbeat songs and a lot of laughs for children aged 3 and up (and their adults), from the company that brought you The Gruffalo…
“Kathryn Cave’s wonderful story is turned into a fantastic show by the amazing Tall Stories company.”
