O-Region Theatre Co presents ‘Nadelik’ (Based on ‘A Christmas in Cornwall’ by Craig Barr-Green)

Event information

It’s Christmas Eve in Cornwall and two little girls and their Gran are excitedly preparing for the big day. But where’s dad? As night falls, their fisherman father is caught in a storm far out at sea. Will he make it home for Christmas? Perhaps — with some extra special help.

Based on the beloved children’s book A Christmas in Cornwall by Craig Barr-Green, featuring original live music and songs by Matthew Thomason, 'Nadelik' is a delightful, interactive festive show for children and their families, with live action, puppetry, and a heap of festive cheer.

Further info: The show includes: two delightful puppets (made by Mae Voogd); learning some key words in the Cornish language; a snow ball fight (with white plastic balls); learning a song to sing and sign in
Makaton; and plenty of festive joy. Plus a very special guest!

Directed by Simon Harvey and produced by o-region.
Aimed at early years and Key Stage 1, but children of all ages have enjoyed this show - from babies to pre-teens.

What did other people in Cornwall think about the show?:
IntoBodmin Boscastle School St Colomb Library: I just wanted to say what a delight the show was for both children and adults. It was kind gentle and most importantly fun. It had the right amount of Cornish words and sayings and audience participation was spot on and splann.

I thought it was ridiculously brilliant and now I know words in Cornish -AP

I thought not five, not six but SEVEN stars. I loved it thanks! - Nancy

What an unexpected and wonderful gem of a piece of work! My daughter was totally spell bound, as was I. For the performers to also be multi instrumentalists and effortlessly provide accompaniment, soundtrack and sound effects was a touch of genius. - Parent
