Family Programme Feb Half Term: Medusa's First Kiss at Little Angel Theatre

Medusa’s First Kiss is aimed at everyone over 10. Our shows for older children are challenging, and explore ideas that are relevant to them and to all of us – we don’t give an upper age because we are recommending the show for young people and adults too. These shows can be less suitable for children under the given ages for many reasons, including more mature themes, complexity of language and narrative, and subject matter or scenes that some may find scary or upsetting. We appreciate that everyone is different and age ranges can only be a rough guide, so it’s most important that you read all the guidance before booking for the child you would be bringing.

Visually, the show does not contain anything likely to be troubling (unless you are afraid of snakes!). However, the characters are young people at secondary school exploring emotions and relationships, including romantic relationships. The story deals with bullying, including online bullying. There is a scene where girls talk and sing about dealing with unwanted attention. Another song touches on adult relationships when Hera / the school counsellor sings about her marriage to Zeus.
