The Bed (performance for babies)
30 Sep–04 Nov 2023
A Little Angel Theatre Production
Based on the poem written by Sylvia Plath and illustrated by Quentin Blake
Aimed at ages 6 - 18 months
Most Beds are Beds for sleeping and resting, but the best beds are much more interesting!
Curl up and get comfy for a bedtime story like no other. Let us take you on a journey sprinkled with fantasy and escapism, where you will meet elephants, macaws and parakeets. Venture underwater, to the North Pole and even outer space without ever leaving the comfort of your own bed. Beds come in all shapes and sizes, from cots to king-sized, and some you might never have heard of before – see if you can discover them all along the way.
This enchanting poem by Sylvia Plath, written for her own children, is brought to life in a special show for babies and toddlers.
There are separate performance times for babies (6-18 months) and toddlers (18 months – 3 years). Click here for the toddler performances.

“The Bed is inventive and cosy and welcoming and difficult to leave, as enticing as a duvet on a chilly morning”

Age guidance
The Bed (performance for babies) is aimed at babies aged 6 – 18 months. The show itself is the same for baby and toddler performances, and age groupings are relaxed, but the performances for babies have smaller audience numbers and aim to provide the calmest environment where babies are not overwhelmed by older children.
