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.
