Which one of Your Toys is ready for an adventure?
What do Buzz Lightyear, Barbie and that stray Lego piece from behind the fridge have in common? They’re all setting off on a wild journey together as Slot Machine Theatre bring their extraordinary puppetry skills to a show like no other – where every character is one of your very own toys!
Packed with music, belly laughs and plenty of surprises, Your Toys is a heart-warming story about new friends pulling together – an anthem to the power of play that will send you home grinning from ear to ear.
Created in workshops with children, the show brims with their brilliant, inventive – and wonderfully bonkers – ideas; making it a truly joyous, unique piece of theatre.
And the best part? Children (and their grown-ups!) are invited to bring along a toy, lend it to us for the performance, and watch it come to life on stage! (You’ll get it back at the end – don’t worry!)
Your Toys is presented by Slot Machine Theatre. Originally produced by Turtle Key Arts.
Why we love Your Toys – and we think you will too
We are delighted that our original piece of theatre for children aged 5-9 and their families has been chosen as the Easter offering for the wonderful Unicorn Theatre, the dedicated home of quality children’s theatre in London.
For three weeks we will be inviting young people and adults to bring a toy – or favourite keepsake – to the Unicorn and see it take part in a live theatre show of adventure, friendship, and daring exploits!
At SMT we develop all our work for families with young people’s input.
For Your Toys we workshopped ideas with groups of children in a play setting. The children came up with many of the ideas for the story and some of the things the characters do. They also created many of the images which we use as the projected backdrop to the show.
SMT have always built accessibility into our shows. Making language simple, introducing relaxed performances, post-show touch tours for young people with special education needs, working with accessibility co-ordinators, and workshopping in schools for young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities.
It’s a show that has been delighting children and their adults for ten years – and that we genuinely love performing.
Come and see us!
