Five Children & It

Harlequin Outdoor Theatre returns this summer! This August we’ll be back in the Reigate Castle Grounds with ‘This Is My Theatre’ to host their production Five Children and It.

The five children – Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and their baby brother, known as the Lamb – are playing in a gravel pit one morning when they uncover a rather grumpy and sometimes tricky Psammead, a sand-fairy with the ability to grant wishes. Join them on their adventures as they learn what it is to be careful what you wish for!

Based on the classic children’s novel by Edith Nesbit – with live music and puppetry throughout – children and adults alike will love this ever-popular story reimagined for the stage.

Written by Edith Nesbit

Adapted by Ethan Taylor

Directed by Chloe Bond

Music by Simon Stallard
