Fail to engage small children for even a second and you’ve lost them completely. It is a real art – as M6 demonstrated with aplomb”

Take a bird’s eye view of the humans in a brand-new family show from M6 Theatre.

A tree in a city. Two birds decide to make it their home and soon their cosy nest contains two very precious eggs. The world below is full of stuff but, very quickly, so too is the nest.

Filled with clowning, original song and beautiful shadow play, this highly physical show uses minimal language to tell a tale about taking care, discovering what’s important and learning how to fly.
