Sleep is like an old friend I’ve not seen for a long time. She’s stopped returning my calls. But some nights feel sort of magic. Just you and me watching a new day being born.

Ivy’s just had a baby and she’s never felt so full of love – or so alone. Days (and nights) can be tough. But she’s working it out. Join Ivy and her little one on a funny, frank and magical journey through their first year of life together.

Blending drama and multi-sensory playtime in a relaxed and beautifully designed environment, this is a celebration of the wonder, joys and challenges of becoming a new parent.

At the end of the performance there is a stay and play session.

A Tale of Us is a Tiny & Tall production.

Tickets for A Tale of Us

Please note: Tickets are available in bundles of two, allowing for one baby and one parent/carer to be seated on the floor, in a semi-circle around the performance area.

Additional adult tickets are available on a bench/chairs behind the semicircle of audiences on the floor. These tickets are not next to other members in their party on the floor.

If you are a party of three (two adults and one baby, or one adult and two babies) and would prefer to sit together, you will need to purchase two bundles of two. This means you are paying for one extra adult/baby ticket which will go unused.

Reviews

“I was very lucky to get the chance to see this beautiful performance. My son had just turned 1 and I thought watching this show would be a lovely way to celebrate our first year together. The show felt like a retelling of my own journey into motherhood with all the struggles and huge achievements along the way. The actress was absolutely captivating with her beautiful telling of the story. There were so many moments that brought a tear to my eye whilst my son was transfixed on the beautiful puppetry, props and scenic elements to the show”
