A new show in development for families of all ages.

This project is supported by; Arts Council Wales and the John Thaw Foundation.

The story so far:

Nine year old Amy doesn’t want to move house. She especially doesn’t want to move in with Paul, her mum’s new partner. As far as Amy is concerned, their new home is weird, especially with its mysterious locked door where the attic should be. And nobody seems to care that there is an attention-demanding monster living under her bed! But when Amy makes a wish that Paul would disappear and leave her and her mum alone forever, she gets much more than she bargained for...

In answer to Amy’s wish, the sinister Wish Dasher arrives and snatches Paul away. In order to make things right, Amy is forced to go through the locked door, into the colourful, dangerous worlds of her powerful imagination. As Amy battles her way through dark forests and icy tundra in search of Paul, she has to learn how to cope with the many changes that are turning her life upside down.

The Locked Door is a thrilling modern fairy tale, exploring the difficulties faced by any child who finds their home-life changing. It is a story full of colourful characters, humans and monsters, laughs and scares. With its exciting, visual storytelling it will captivate all the family. Just be careful what you wish for!
