A brand new play for parents and their babies, blending drama and multi-sensory playtime celebrating the wonder, joys and challenges of becoming a new parent – from Tiny & Tall Productions (The Tap Dancing Mermaid)


‘Sleep is like an old friend I’ve not seen for a long time. She’s stopped returning my calls. But some nights feel sort of magic. Just you and me watching a new day being born.’

Ivy’s just had a baby. She’s never felt so full of love – or so alone. Days (and nights) can be tough. But she’s working it out.

A Tale of Us is a brand new play for parents and their babies. Join Ivy and her little one on a funny, frank and magical journey through their first year of life together. Blending drama and multi-sensory playtime in a relaxed and beautifully designed environment, this is a celebration of the wonder, joys and challenges of becoming a new parent.

After each performance there will be a guided Stay & Play session – a chance for everyone to explore the world of the show and meet other parents and babies.

“A perfect introduction to theatre for little ones.”

“This is just everything a children’s theatre experience should be.”
