In Summer 2021, we created a 1-person performance of Philip Pullman's The Firework-Maker's Daughter that has now toured (and continues to tour) across schools, libraries, theatres, festivals, parks, gardens and even shopping centres!
About
Our Storyteller is on a magical adventure and to Lila’s Firework Festival, and would like you to join them!
On the way you will learn all about Lila’s voyage across lakes and over mountains, facing her biggest fears and learning everything she needs to know to become the person she has always wanted to be.
This wonderful adventure for the whole family features talking elephants, silly kings, magical creatures, and the timeless message that we all have the power to become the person we dream of being.
Based on Philip Pullman’s award-winning novel, this intimate and fun production is inclusive and accessible for all, featuring Makaton, puppetry, and lots of audience participation!
What it looks like on tour
What People have Said about it:
“All the children (aged 18 months to 9 years) were engaged and interested in the story. They joined in and talked about the performance afterwards and all told their parents about it at pickup - running to show their sticker and proudly announcing ‘I am a Firework-Maker!’”
“A brilliant story that was adapted perfectly for the age of my children. The fact that all of us were giggling throughout is evidence of lovely storytelling. Also love the inclusion of Makaton - spot on!”
“A beautiful story that takes you on an adventure and shows you the importance of friendship. Great for children's …..and adult’s....imagination.”
“I took my 2 children to see The Firework-Maker’s Daughter and they both loved it. They were inspired to create a firework themed play at home afterwards. I loved that it was so inclusive as mine don’t always get what’s going on or fully enjoy the experience when we go out somewhere. But they did that day. Thank you.”

THE FIREWORK-MAKER'S DAUGHTER: AT HOME
