THE SONGBIRD:
A TONE POEM

Giant in association with Platform
Conceived and Directed by Katrina Caldwell
Music and Libretto by David Paul Jones

An innovative development in music theatre for everybody 8 years and over.

The Songbird follows the tale of an extraordinary, exotic bird that is captured in the tranquil solitude of the forest by a ruthless logger, captivated by her song. Using live music, a language of specially developed sound poetry and interactive, sensory performance techniques, this is a subtle story with a powerful, emotional punch.

Here's what the Programming Panel said:

The panel is intrigued and enthusiastic about the unusual approach to creating work for children presented by The Songbird. Utilising music, song and poetry to convey the material this promises to be children's theatre that is dignified and non-patronising.
