Four Seasons

Little Bulb uses music, puppetry and clowning to tell a Vivaldi-inspired family-friendly tale.

Leigh Curtis

Theatre company Little Bulb is bringing a family-friendly performance inspired by Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons to Emmanuel Hall on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 March.

Four Seasons uses music, puppetry and clowning to tell the story of a team of intrepid magical gardeners tending to flora and fauna through the changing seasons.

The production is suitable for ages three to seven.
