As part of its programme for families, The Old Vic will present The Missing Light, an enchanting puppetry show for ages 7+ about hopes, dreams and true friendship, created by Mark Arends for Make Mend and Do.
When Warple moves into a small fishing village by the seaside, he discovers his neighbour, Hilda, looking out towards the horizon each night, searching for a glimpse of her long-lost husband. When loneliness, curiosity and a far-off flickering light brings them together, the two elderly friends embark on a surprising journey to reconcile their pasts and find what might lie within their futures.
Using music, puppetry and film, the company work together to create enchanting animation live on stage.
The Missing Light is a daytime production and will play on the main stage 23rd March – 4th April 2017, with performances at 11.15am & 1.30pm. Tickets will be prices £12 for adults and £6 for children.
