Skellig
Birmingham Stage Company present Skellig by David Almond.
Ten-year-old Michael was looking forward to moving into a new house. But now his baby sister is ill and his parents are frantic. Then Michael wanders into the crumbling garage and sees something lying beneath the spiderwebs and flies - is it a man or an animal? Michael confides in his new friend Mina and together they carry the creature Skellig into the light, changing their world forever.
"A story that is as moving for adults as it is entertaining for children; I defy anyone to get to the final curtain without a tear in their eye."
