Play-Along Plink and Book, Z-arts

6 April 2021 Tickets from £3 — Book now

Welcome to the topsy turvy world of Play-Along Plink and Boo, a unique circus theatre performance made for camera. Join Z-arts from the comfort of your own home and explore what happens when people don’t fit into boxes (even if it is the neatest place to put them).

Celebrating individuality and uniqueness, this hybrid show combines watching a filmed performance with playing along with real objects in your own homes. The objects are exactly the same as the ones you’ll see in the show which is very satisfying.

Children and their grown ups are invited to make the event even more special by creating a cosy ‘viewing den’ and you can share pictures of your creations via social media.

Be sure to download the accompanying activity pack or watch the instruction videos beforehand which show you how to make the objects, using things you can find round the house.

Don’t miss this special Can’t Sit Still production which shakes off stereotypes and champions differences.

Play-Along Plink and Boo is part of the brilliant programme of online activities on offer at Z-arts this Easter half-term so do check out our other family listings.
