A Fresh, Festive Take on a Childhood Classic for all the Family…

QUIRK THEATRE & EXETER PHOENIX PRESENT: FIVE CHILDREN & IT

Quirk Theatre return to Exeter Phoenix for their 20th show with a heartwarming and hilarious festive adventure all about ✨wishes✨

Wishes that are granted by an anarchic fairy-monster-thingy with eyes on stalks. The lucky children who find the Psammead can wish for anything! But as the old saying goes, they might need to be careful what they wish for…

This Christmas, join the Psammead and five children for a fresh, festive take on a childhood classic, as E. Nesbit’s beloved children’s book gets the Quirk treatment.

Quirk Theatre are known for their inventive and innovative approach to live theatre, wowing audiences with their use of projection, puppetry, creative set design and original music. Essentially simple, beautifully effective and brilliant fun, Quirk Theatre deliver an exciting, engaging and magical experience for all.

A perfect festive treat for all ages!
