Devised by Jan Blake

Polka Theatre

“Matthew Edwards brilliantly transforms the Adventure Theatre into a cozy and safe space that resembles a campfire site — a clever design that works perfectly with this genre and might even leave the grown-ups feeling nostalgic”.

Caleb Lee Children’s’ Theatre Review

“The execution is highly creative and Matt Edwards’ design is extraordinary, immersing us fully in the production”.
