Friday 17 – Sunday 19 April
11am & 2pm
£8 (plus concessions)
Adapted and Directed by Tina Shuker-Abell
After sell-out performances in spring 2019, In On The Act bring
back the magical tale of the boy and his rabbit. Join them once
again for this heart-warming adventure, mixed with song, dance
and enchanting storytelling.
Once upon a time, in a boy's playroom, bursting with marvellous
mechanical toys and astonishing automated knick-knacks, there
sat a very lonely and abandoned Velveteen Rabbit. This soft and
squishy toy longed for the day when the playful pair would set
off on many thrilling adventures.
When that magical day finally arrived, off they set to explore the
wonders of the world. Come along on their fantastical journey
and see the real transformation love can make.
Recommended age 4 – 7
In On The Act is Theatre Royal Wakefield’s young company for
