A treasure-hunt show giving 7-11 year-olds an adventure through a strange, magical new world followed by live music and story telling…

What to expect

You’ve washed up on a new shore…
Can you navigate through this world where nothing is quite what it seems? The inhabitants of this island make strange noises and sprites hide around every corner. Where do you belong?

Discover your own magical powers in this truly interactive family experience. Join us for a mission which will lead you through puzzles, meeting mysterious characters and steering your team through the choppy seas to search for your new home.
Come prepared for the elements as this adventure takes place outdoors!

This is a promenade theatre performance (you will be on the move with performers at various locations). The show lasts approx. 45mins and will take place entirely outside, so please come dressed for all weathers.

Busking & Story Telling (12pm-1pm)

Following the morning’s show, enjoy live music and story-telling from characters of the mystical world of This Noisy Isle outside Poplar Union’s cafe, Poplar Bakehouse and all attendees of the show will receive a ‘digital souvenir’, so keep an eye on your inboxes!

Created in partnership with Creative Arts East, The Garage, Norwich and Arts Council England.

About Spun Glass Theatre

Spun Glass Theatre are an award-winning production company experimenting with crossing theatre and popular performance forms to create radical, anti-elitist performance. We devise original productions based on classic texts and work directly with communities to bring creativity out of traditional arts spaces.

They have a strong record for creating innovative children’s work including ‘Princess Charming’ a cabaret for kids exploring gender stereotypes, co-produced by Ovalhouse. ‘Princess Charming’ was described as “pertinent and powerful” (A Younger Theatre), “an absolute gem of a show” (West End Wilma), “hilarious, touching and truthful” (Female Arts).

Princess Charming had a successful national tour in Autumn 2018 visiting 16 venues including Cambridge Junction, ARC Stockton and Tobacco Factory Theatres.

WestEnd Wilma – ★★★★★ ‘Princess Charming’ is an absolute gem of a show. Exploring gender stereotypes using the very clever medium of a cabaret aimed at 7-11 year olds, it is entertaining, informative (though never preachy) and vitally, incredibly relevant. – Ovalhouse 2017
