This autumn enjoy the spellbinding story of The Mountain Witch at Interplay Theatre in Leeds, produced by Speedwell Dance. This sensory-rich performance is for children aged 3-8 and their families and is taking place on 10 November,

The Mountain Witch takes audiences on a journey to a world where seasons have gone topsy turvy. An ancient and powerful witch has hidden the sun, and its up to the determination of children to put things right, join musicians and dancers to awaken scampering creatures, tiptoe past the Mountain Witch’s cave and finally convince her to let the sun return.

With a stunning live soundtrack of clarinet, flute, and cello, the music and dance adds to the otherworldly atmosphere, alongside a heartwarming story.
