A Small-Scale Studio Show by Mike Kenny Available for Autumn 2027
Help us celebrate 50 years as one of Britain’s leading theatre companies creating productions that bring wonder and connection into the lives of children, young people and their families.
In a humble workshop, a kind tailor stitches coats for all the townsfolk. Each one made with love and care. But his world is turned upside down by the arrival of a message from the most important person in the land.
An order for a coat. The best coat in the world!
As work begins, the demands grow and the pressure builds until a budding friendship is broken before it has even begun.
Now an invitation has been sent, and the table is being laid for a VIP, but probably not the one we expect…
Puppetry, music, movement and M6’s trademark beautiful design combine in this magical new tale, where our tailor, a proud pigeon and a newcomer (plus his trusty cat) must decide what is most important and what really matters.
