UPSTAIRS IN THE SKY

Company: UK; Quicksilver Theatre

Upstairs In The Sky is gentle, heart-warming reassurance of family love - even when loved ones are no longer there. The story of Princess Veronica and her search for her grandfather King Jim takes the audience on an imaginary journey through a dark, dark wood, up a tall, tall tower to a beautiful magical cloudscape.

This funny, new play is performed with open-ended play materials, to create the world of the play in children’s imaginations. The show finishes with a play session where the children can explore the set, props and costumes for themselves.
