THEATRE PREVIEW: Tom Thumb at The Civic, Barnsley

A TINY stage show for children will bring miniature magic to a Barnsley theatre this weekend.

Children’s theatre company Lyngo will perform the one-man show Tom Thumb entirely on (and under) a kitchen table.

One night, Tom overhears Mum and Dad talking. There is nothing left to eat, so he and his six siblings will be abandoned in the forest.

The family-friendly winter warmer will see tiny Tom tackle his neglectful parents and even an ogre, all within the confines of four table legs.

Feathery birds, a flying house and a wee forest will all appear on the teeny table stage, during little Tom’s big adventure.

He will show his little world that small can still be mighty — finding the treasure and making sure his siblings are never be hungry again.

CBeebies star Patrick Lynch will bring the classic story to life with the playful show, suitable for ages three and up.

The performance takes place from 2.30pm on Sunday, November 18. Tickets cost £8 (£6 concession and £5 for children).
