Theatre REVIEW: The Gift - ★★★★★



A mountain of discarded wrapping. A lonely child with an active imagination.


Barrowland Ballet return to The Studio with their award-winning show, back by popular demand!


It’s often the cardboard boxes, not the gifts inside that are the most fun.


Is the true gift the joy that can come from the imagination?


This is a story reversing the idea that it is the wrapping paper, the cardboard boxes and ribbons that should be discarded, and reveals that playfulness, creativity and imagination are the true gifts. This beautiful production celebrates the art of play, taking ordinary objects making them extraordinary and magical.


“I didn’t realise it didn’t include batteries…!” The disappointment of a toy that doesn’t work – every parent’s nightmare! But not to worry, this will become the best day ever with the arrival of an imagined friend and together they transform the world around them.


This festive show will ignite a playfulness, inspiring children and their families to find new games together when it’s their turn to open gifts!


 

Where?


The Studio, Edinburgh - until 31st December




MIX UP REVIEWS:


Mix Up Junior (Age 5) - ★★★★★

"I loved it. 1000 stars. The snow at the end was amazing. I liked playing and dancing at the end as well. Merry Christmas!"


Dad - ★★★★★

"A heartwarming, creative piece of physical theatre with a nice underlying message for the Christmas period – sometimes it’s not always about the gift. The team at Barrowland Ballet give a fun, interactive piece of storytelling with excellent performances from the team of two dancers. The use of language improvised musical instruments and the wonderful staging made this a memorable trip to the theatre. Our little one loved getting up to dance at the finale and playing along with the actors. If you fancy something a little different from the onslaught of pantos but are looking for a Christmas trip to the theatre this is highly recommended from us."
