For lovers of beautifully crafted theatre.
For lovers of beautifully crafted theatre,
A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings is a fantastical tale based on the short story by Gabriel García Márquez.
This darkly comic tale by Dan Colley and The Riverbank Arts Centre is coming to us from from Dublin, Ireland!
The story is emotionally rich in its exploration of human nature and gorgeously told through the clever use of music, puppetry and livestream video projections. Critics say it has a whimsical campfire storytelling feeling.
✨It’s the perfect show for kids and adults to share.✨
