AWARD-WINNING touring theatre company, Théâtre Sans Frontières, will be performing its production of Heaven Eyes by the celebrated children’s author David Almond at the Brewhouse.
Adapted for the stage, Heaven Eyes is a poetic and gritty story about young people trying to find their way in the world.
Running away from their care home, Erin, January and Mouse sail downriver on a makeshift raft.
Washed up on the mudflats, they meet a strange girl, Heaven Eyes, and a man she calls Grampa, who digs for treasures in the mud.
As Erin befriends Heaven Eyes and tensions begin to rise within the group, January’s suspicions about the old man grow. What is the secret he’s hiding?
Based in Northumberland, David Almond has won numerous awards for his work,including the Whitbread Children’s Book Award and the Carnegie Medal for his first novel Skellig, the internationally prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 2010, and, in 2015, the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize for A Song for Ella Grey.
The show takes place on February 23 and 24 and is suitable for adults and children aged nine plus.
Tickets are available now.
