Alicia's Amazing Adventure to find the first Black Britons

A magical, time-travelling family show that begins with one big question.  Why do people have different coloured skin?

Children ask questions.  Big ones.  Awkward ones.  Important ones.  And sometimes, grown-ups don't know how to answer.  In this joyful and imaginative new theatre show, Alicia sets out to find the truth, journeying across time, meeting historic heroes, hidden heroines, and uncovering surprising stories from Britain's past.

Blending bold visuals, playful storytelling and unforgettable encounters, this is a heart-filled adventure about identity, belonging, and seeing the world, and each other, more clearly.

Prepare to join in and help bring the show to life, as Alicia's Amazing Adventure opens up conversations about race, history and who we are, in a way that's open, honest, and full of wonder.

Perfect for children aged seven years plus and their grown-ups.
