"There is as much for adults to enjoy about this family-friendly fable as there is for children."
-Sunday Business Post★★★★★
"There's a touch of Monty Python's Life of Brian about it all ...an absolute delight."
-Irish Mail on Sunday
By Dan Colley and The Riverbank Arts Centre | Dublin, Ireland
For kids 8+ and adults of all ages
In a kitchen, in a theatre, two storytellers and their audience find something remarkable: a very old man with enormous wings! What to do about an angel who has fallen from earth? This thrilling piece of theatrical magic for young audiences is adapted from the short story of the same name by Gabriel García Márquez. Using all the storytelling tools: gripping music, charming puppetry, live video projection and a bunch of belly laughs, this fable leaps to life in all its wonderful weirdness and heartfelt emotion. If you loved our presentation of The Bookbinder in 2019, we’re sure you’ll enjoy The Old Man with Enormous Wings.
Watch: kids who loved the show!
