Grand Soft Day is a playful, curious and charming new show for young children that celebrates the wonder of the world around us, teaching us to always be prepared even though you don’t know what the day will bring.
A predominantly non-verbal piece, Grand Soft Day combines physical storytelling, live music and colourful wellies.
You can see the show here:
- Brighton Festival: 25th & 26th May 2024
- Southbank Centre, London: 1st & 2nd June 2024
