FIVE CHILDREN AND IT
Friday 10 December 2021 - Sunday 16 January 2022
“An inventive, carefully constructed show… maintains The Egg’s proud tradition of delivering beautiful Christmas treats.” ★★★★ The Stage
“Hooray, hooray for this utter triumph of a show… proper family theatre of the highest quality.” Bristol24/7
“We’ve enjoyed so many family productions at The Egg and without fail enjoyed every one. However, Bucket Club’s production of Five Children and It just about trumps the lot… a children’s theatrical masterclass.” The Bath and Wiltshire Parent
If you could have one wish what would It be?
Sent away to live in the countryside with their reclusive Uncle, five children discover a secret that’s been hidden away for centuries: a magical, mischievous and extremely grumpy Sand Fairy called It with the power to grant spectacular wishes. There’s just one catch…
As the children set off on a series of fantastic adventures, they soon learn that wishes can get you into a whole heap of trouble. Perhaps a wish granted isn’t always the dream come true you might expect!
This Christmas join us as The Egg Christmas show returns with a sparkling new take on the classic story by E. Nesbit (The Railway Children) from award-winning theatre company Bucket Club.
