There May Be a Castle at Little Angel Theatre
‘There May Be a Castle’ at The Little Angel Theatre is a remarkable musical puppetry production about love, loss and the power of the imagination, from award-winning writer Piers Torday.
On a frozen Christmas Eve, Mouse Mallory and family are on their way across the snow-white valley to their Grandpa’s house. But they never arrive. Instead, Mouse makes friends with a dinosaur that can change size, a glamorous but sarcastic horse and a tone-deaf minstrel who never stops singing! Together, they embark upon an extraordinary quest in search of a castle – but will they find it before the dangerous pink knight catches up with them?
Age guidance:
There May be a Castle is for everyone over 7. Although exciting and uplifting, and very much about the power of love, the production involves the central character dying. This happens near the end of the show and is treated in a very sensitive way, with Mouse re-joining his fantasy family. When the family car crashes, Mouse is transported into a fantasy world as he walks through the snow to find help, while his big sister, trapped in the car, remains in the ‘real world’ imagining she is a pirate to help her survive the cold. Younger children could find this confusing.
