Callout
HurlyBurly Theatre are seeking performers for some exploratory R&D work of a new theatre show for babies. This early stage R&D will take place at The Egg (Theatre Royal Bath) and Portsmouth Guildhall in July and September 2022. We are taking gardens and gardening as a starting point and have previously made shows that incorporate classical music alongside words and music written by the company.
