Flyaway Katie is an inspiring flight of fancy about the power of imagination, bursting with beautiful hand stitched puppets, colour, humour and surprises galore!
Katie is all alone and feeling grey. The birds in the picture on her wall look so colourful; if only Katie could be as bright as them, who knows what might happen?
Based on the popular children’s book by Polly Dunbar with music by Tom Gray of Gomez.
Part of the Nottingham Puppet Festival
