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.

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.
