Book NowAbout Written by Arnold Lobel adapted by Rina Vergano
Owl at Home, presented by Theatr Iolo at the Dining Room, is a witty musical tale based on the illustrated children's book by Arnold Lobel, adapted by Rina Vergano. Owl lives alone in a cosy little home and, rudely awoken by his inconsiderate alarm clock, finds his calm day going out the window. As his imagination runs away with him, ordinary objects take on a life of their own and Owl discovers an unexpected friend. Running for 45 minutes, this family-friendly show uses music and story to explore how to embrace life even when things go wrong.
Why see this show?
A charming and gently funny show for young audiences, rooted in a much-loved picture book. The idea that ordinary objects might come alive makes for a theatrical experience that sparks imagination.
