Raven – Alphabetti Theatre, Newcastle

Raven Varmint has a wild heart. Her wild heart allows her to roar, explore, cry, get twigs stuck in her hair… but it also makes her complicated. And forbidden.

From the moment Raven was born, her family were forced to live as Shadows, never to be seen or heard again and she has never known why. On the eve of her tenth birthday strange feelings begin to bubble inside her and she follows her wild heart away from the safety she has always known.

Join Raven on a journey of bravery and discovery as she begins to understand her feelings, learns how to regulate them, and breaks out of the shadows into the beauty and freedom of her wild-hearted self.

A beautiful and mischievous show focused on children’s mental health for children and their adults, filled with live music, puppetry, and a talking gargoyle.

Wild hearts encouraged.
