The Unseen Child

Once there was a young prince, who was master of all he surveyed. His parents doted on him, until one day, everything changed.

A strange mood fell across the kingdom, and the prince was no longer the apple of their eye . . . storm clouds gathered, and slowly the prince became . . . invisible.

The Unseen Child is the story of a young carer, who escapes his daily life through fantasy worlds and battling mythical beasts in a quest to keep his family together.

Weaving together the fantastical stories and real life experiences shared by Carer Support Furness – Young Carers, Theatre Factory has created a show about the voiceless in our community.

Told through, puppetry, animation and performance, The Unseen Child gives voice to the often hidden but vital role young carers play in society.

Performances will be at Hindpool Community Centre, Nelson Street, Barrow in Furness, LA14 1NF on
14 October 2023 at 7.30

There will be a Relaxed Performance at 2 pm. A Relaxed Performance is designed to suit people who might require a more gentle environment when going to the theatre. This performance will be suitable for audience members with sensory communication disorders, autism or learning difficulties. The auditorium will be open throughout the performance and audience members can come and go as they please. A quiet area will be provided where audience members can chill out if the show becomes overstimulating. The show will be introduced and the audience will be able to walk on the set and meet the cast before the performance.

Tickets are FREE, but places are limited so you will need to book in advance here - https://www.tickettailor.com/events/theatrefactory/991684
