About the Production
Katie is feeling grey... until she notices the colourful birds in a painting on her wall. What happens next is a burst of magical transformation, as Katie dares to step into a world of colour and possibility.
Flyaway Katie is a playful and poignant puppet show celebrating the power of imagination to lift our spirits. Inspired by the picture book by Polly Dunbar, this 35-minute show is packed with movement, music and colour, followed by a delightful meet-the-puppets session that makes it an especially magical first-theatre experience.
