Opinion with Samantha Lane

At Little Angel Theatre, we believe passionately in sharing inspirational stories, whether existing stories, book adaptations or something totally new. Indeed, the heartbeat of theatre lies in its ability to reflect an ever-changing society, and to captivate audiences across generations. We do this with a varied exciting programme of work. Our spring/summer season in 2024, for example, is made up of an existing book adaptation, The Everywhere Bear, alongside 4 brand new pieces – Medusa's First Kiss (a coming of age story about acceptance and fitting in); Persephone – a Tale of the Seasons (a show for babies and toddlers that takes them on a sensory journey through the cyclical changes in nature); Prince Charming (a show about a prince, who is very anxious and struggles to get out of bed) and The Curious Rat (a story about a lonely city rat who, inspired by some pigeons, goes on an adventure). The shows cover a wide age range, bringing joy and inspiration to all children.
