The Smeds and The Smoos

Book
Illustration of two colourful alien creatures from The Smeds and The Smoos, a children’s book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. One alien is red with green hair and a long nose (a Smed), and the other is blue with pointy ears and antennae (a Smoo). They are holding hands on an alien planet with a starry sky, strange plants, and a glowing moon-like backdrop.
Two actors dressed as Smeds and Smoos are being enthusiastically hugged by two performers in green, multi-armed alien costumes with stalk eyes. All four characters are reacting with expressive faces on a vividly lit stage.
A performer dressed as a red Smed with green hair interacts animatedly with a large, colourful alien plant that has yellow petals and a purple cone-shaped centre, on a vibrant, otherworldly set.
Four performers on stage hold up blue cardboard cut-outs to form a rocket ship. Each holds a window-shaped piece with their face peeking through. They are dressed in red and blue costumes, standing in front of a colourful, space-themed set.
Two actors dressed as red Smeds sit side by side on a rock. The female character has green hair and red antennae, while the male character wears orange goggles and a red apron, pointing upwards as if telling a story.
Two performers dressed as blue Smoos jog in place, smiling joyfully. They wear blue costumes with antennae headgear and are set against a stylised rocky alien landscape.

Soar into space with this exciting adaptation of the award-winning book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

On a far-off planet, Smeds and Smoos can’t be friends. So when a young Smed and Smoo fall in love and zoom off into space together, how will their families get them back?

Music, laughs and interplanetary adventures for everyone aged 3 and up, from Tall Stories – the company that brought you The Gruffalo and Room on the Broom live on stage.

  • A promotional poster for 'Robyn Hood,' presented by Fidget Theatre. The image features a performer with curly brown hair wearing blue overalls and a bright blue t-shirt, standing confidently in front of a stylised illustrated forest background. They hold a wooden bow aloft in one hand and a handmade cardboard sign reading 'Robyn Hood' in the other. Their facial expression is determined and playful.

The background is slightly blurred, showing additional rows of blue theatre seats.
