- Summary
- COI synopsis: A new theatre, created specially for children, has recently opened in London. Our reporter discovers that it is much more than a place where youngsters are passively entertained. With its displays of modern toys and antique marionettes plus workshops in mime and shadow puppetry, the children are actively involved in the magic world of theatre.
