We are no longer streaming Whatever the Weather but please feel free to download our home resource pack and story book

During this time it feels more important than ever to ignite the imaginations, nurture the hearts and challenge the minds of children and young people.

We have opened up our M6 archive so you can stream Whatever the Weather whenever you choose! Our downloadable resource pack and story book can also be used as an addition to home schooling or simply a fun way to spend the day.

The imaginary world of an alpine weather house is brought to life in this inventive, comical and highly visual show for the very young. The little lady comes out when it’s going to be sunny. The little man comes out when it’s going to rain. Never together, always alone. One magical day they come alive and discover that the beautiful and surprising world they live in, is better shared.

For ages 3-7

Simply click the film on the right (or below) to view. These resources will be available free of charge for the whole of April 2020.

Don’t forget to share what Mr Rain & Mrs Sunshine inspire you to do. We’d love to see your creations! Use social media or email: admin@m6theatre.co.uk  #whatevertheweather

Keep your eyes peeled for further M6 productions from the archive coming soon.
