Dayzee and the World of Tomorrow

Quirk Theatre presents a festive family-friendly adventure about a magical future.

Leigh Curtis

Quirk Theatre is bringing a festive family-friendly adventure set in the not-so-far-off future to Exeter Phoenix from 15 to 28 December.

Dayzee and the World of Tomorrow follows Dayzee and her dad as they find their way through a magical wormhole to a world filled with flying bicycles, talking insects and singing Mangrove forests.

When a stowaway from 2024 misses the last shuttle home, Dayzee embarks on the adventure of a lifetime.

The production is suitable for all ages but ideal for 5 to 11 year-olds and their accompanying adults.

Exeter Observer publishes the journalism our local democracy needs: independent, investigative and in the public interest.

It can do this because it is the city's only news organisation that doesn't have to answer to advertisers, remote shareholders or those in power.

Instead, its not-for-profit business model is simple.

It depends on readers like you to sustain our reporting by contributing a small amount each month.

Lots of people currently chip in like this, but it's not enough to cover our costs. We need more paying subscribers to continue publishing.
