THE NIGHT THAT
AUTUMN TURNED TO WINTER
IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE WOODS THIS CHRISTMAS,
YOU ARE DEFINITELY SURE OF A BIG SURPRISE! FROM
THURSDAY 14TH DECEMBER TO SUNDAY 24TH DECEMBER,
JOIN THE AWARD-WINNING LITTLE BULB THEATRE AT
QUARTERHOUSE, FOLKESTONE, AS THEY CREATE A
MAGICAL WOODLAND WORLD! THEIR EXCITING ENERGY
TAKES LITTLE EXPLORERS ON A DELIGHTFULLY
UNFORGETTABLE ADVENTURE, AS PIXIE NARRATORS FILL
THE AIR WITH SILLY SONGS, DAFT DANCING, FRENZIED FUN
AND AN ABUNDANCE OF AUDIENCE INTERACTION.
Starring a lively cast of lovable forest creatures,
a unique blend of characteristic comedy, live
music and lots of wonderful whimsy in the
form of props and costumes, The Night that
Autumn Turned to Winter is innovatively
quirky. Little Bulb Theatre cleverly reinvent
the idea of a traditional fairy tale, capturing
the attention of little ones (and not so little
ones) in a faultlessly crafted winter show that
is perfect for all the family this festive season.
Set on the last day of autumn, when frost
begins to coat the crisp leaves that cover the
forest floor, you’ll meet an ensemble of
woodland animals who are waiting in eager
anticipation of the knowledge that the winter
season is slowly creeping in. Deep within the
wild wood, creatures of all shapes and sizes
are busy getting ready for the cold season
ahead… During a frenzy of nest building and
34
nut gathering, meet the rabbits, feed the
squirrels and find the Foxy Fox on the night
that their world turns into a magical snow-
shimmering wilderness. Be sure to keep your
eye out for the super rare winter unicorn, too!
Described by The Times as ‘one of Britain’s
most refreshing young theatre companies’,
Little Bulb Theatre have come a long way since
they began at the University of Kent almost
ten years ago. The award-winning company
have become famous for creating a fuzzy
feeling of heartwarmingly infectious delight
wherever they go. Producing cleverly relevant
shows and never resorting to clichés,
The Night that Autumn Turned to Winter is
praised by The Guardian for its wonderfully
DIY aesthetic ‘that considers parents as much
as kids…with entertainingly wry mock-David
Attenborough commentary.’
Tickets are priced at £8 for adults, £6 for
children and £25 for a family (2 adults, 2
children). Head to www.quarterhouse.co.uk
