Family Focus Work in Progress 

Our seasonal work in progress with work made by members of our artist development network, Troop.

Presented by OftheJackall

Plant is a tender comic celebration of the natural world, abundance and sharing for ages 3-6.  A squirrel hides a nut from a nosy pigeon inadvertently planting a tree in the process.  They squabble through the seasons until a tree emerges providing enough nuts for everyone. Featuring elements of clown, physical comedy, live music and dance Plant will leave audiences feeling like they’ve spent an hour in the woods. 

OftheJackel makes work for first-time theatregoers and life-long fans alike. We are inclusive. We are committed to taking our work outside of traditional touring venues. We seek to reflect our audiences’ lives onstage. We are international. We are diverse. We are non-judgmental. In our rehearsal rooms we like to have people from many backgrounds and many countries. We are representative of the world around us. Our shows use new theatrical languages. We challenge ourselves by working with different artforms and different disciplines. OftheJackel make visual theatre shows for audiences of all ages.

​We specialise in making work for hearing and D/deaf audiences alike.

​Our shows are physical, playful, and deeply accessible.
