A magical stranger brings joy to a lonely life.
Meet Ted, a cautious old soul living all alone in a busy, bustling town. He likes it that way. It’s quieter and safer. Until one extraordinary day, a surprise visitor turns his lonely life upside down.
Told by a very special performer, with a playful mix of puppetry, music and song, Little Gift is a tender and warm story about friendship and the joy to be found just around every corner.
“A kindly and magical 50 minutes” The Scotsman
**** “Full of clever surprises!” The Herald Scotland
***** “Whimsical, funny and imaginative” reviewsphere
