![]() ![]() With plenty of catchy tunes and very adroit prop transformation, we are taken on an intergalactic quest as Grandpa Smed (Tim Hibberd) and Grandmother Smoo (Angela Laverick) try to find these star-crossing lovers. Whilst the elders are bickering, the young lovers elope, possibly to another planet. No one quite knows why but they are deeply suspicious of one another… until Janet (Althea Burey) falls in love with Bill (Dan Armstrong). The Smeds and the Smoos are sworn enemies on a planet outside our solar system. Squarely aimed at the Early Years and Infants end of the market, this show’s production values – from lighting to incredibly clever modular set design to, of course, great puppets – make this non-tragic re-telling of Romeo and Juliet (in outer space) a visual feast for the family. The masterful puppeteers at Tall Stories triumph again with their latest Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler adaptation, The Smeds and The Smoos, which is touring England and Wales until April. ![]()
