• No sudden loud sounds
• Free and easy access into and out of the theatre during performances
About the show
Being afraid of heights isn’t such a big deal – unless you’re a bird! Meet Eddie, a mynah who lives behind an abandoned old house with Matt the rat, his only friend.
One day, Matt is captured by the big, black crow! What does Eddie have to do to save his best friend? Will he have the courage to do it?
Flutter, flap, and fly with Eddie as he attempts the bravest rescue ever in the history of bird-kind! Watch the magic of theatre, music, and puppetry unfold right before your eyes in this delightful performance for children aged 2 to 4.
