Five Children and It
23rd November 2025
Family Storytelling Theatre Show ‘Five Children and It’
Adapted and directed by Joe Flatt
When Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and the baby moved to the countryside, they were already convinced they had hit the jackpot. Blue skies and acres of land to explore, with parents too busy to notice. Yet, what they didn’t expect to find is a Psammead. Yes, that’s right. A ‘Sammy-add’. Or, a Sand-Fairy. The latter is much easier to say.
Now, having a Sand-Fairy for a friend means having one wish granted each day. They have been granting wishes for centuries, and are earth’s most magical beings. But, the children don’t realise all the trouble a Psammead can cause and have to learn quite quickly… Be careful what you wish for!
An imaginative take of E.Nesbitt’s timeless classic. Perfect for all the family.
From Burnt Coffee: “We have two more wonderful productions taking to the stage this year, and we look forward to creating something magical with both old and new connections.”
