Young Laura receives an extraordinary birthday gift – a magical necklace that keeps its owner dry in the heaviest rainstorm! But one day it goes missing – how will she get it back? Join Laura and her animal friends on a wild adventure across oceans and deserts to find out!

Spoken word, live music and magical scrolling illustrations combine to bring this timeless tale alive for a new generation of story listeners. Featuring an enchanting live score with strings, wind and percussion.

One Moment In Time is delighted to have been granted permission by Joan Aiken’s Estate to retell this much-loved tale.

Recommended for ages 4+

Running time 30 mins + an informal Q+A with the company after the show. There will also be a 30 minute Puppet Making workshop run by Front Room as part of the ticket price.

The Front Room is a fantastic addition to Weston’s cultural scene. The team brings quality work into Weston, which wouldn’t get to be seen otherwise, and provide a unique platform for local artists to perform.

The Front Room is fantastic. I have seen so many brilliant shows there in the short space since they opened. It is brilliant. It is exactly what Weston super Mare has so badly needed.

Great to have this venue in Weston super Mare! On the site of the old pizza express, this theatre has fully accessible facilities and refreshments available on site. We saw a brilliant family show put on by Kid Carpet and the Noisy Animals. Fantastic!

Fantastic production of the shaggy dog tails!

A wonderful evening of great company and entertainment, great bar selection of local IPA ales and further drinks. Would highly recommend a visit if you can, a highly talented young crew 👍
