More shows for the holidays. Moonbird by I-Theatre whose The Little Red Hen we enjoyed is back with a show for slightly older children (4+). Early bird specials on tix till April 19.

From the synopsis:
"An enchanting tale of a young Prince and his encounter with the magical Moonbird in a mystical MoonGarden. Blending Asian aesthetics of mask and movement with western theatre styles, and combining the spoken word with sign and song - this production adapted from Joyce Dunbar’s beautifully written story about deafness will captivate you from the start."

Interestingly, the writer Joyce Dunbar who wrote the Mouse & Mole series - and is "profoundly deaf" according to the I-Theatre website - is one of the speakers at the Asian Children's Writers & Illustrators Conference that takes place 5 - 7 June.
