A fox, a pigeon, and a secret agent are on a mission to save the world, but everything is not what it seems. The evil Miss Information and her deadly sleepy agents are on the attack, and now all the colours are wrong, and all the sounds are upside down. When true is false and real is fake, will our superheroes be able to untangle the lies and figure out who to trust?
Featuring ingenious live video, explosive dance moves, and a cast of unforgettable characters, The Shivers is a pulsating adventure about learning to trust your instincts when something doesn’t feel right… when it gives you the shivers.
This high-octane action-comedy opens the door for grown-ups and children to talk about misinformation, fake news, and keeping safe online.
“What’s the last thing you saw online that made you question whether it was true or not?”
Join The Shivers company and The Nutshell after the show, as we open a conversation between you and your young person(s) reflecting on what they’ve just seen. At The Nutshell, we believe that theatre is the start of a great conversation, and engagement doesn’t, and shouldn’t end once the production is finished. Our friends from The Shivers are going to stick around and answer questions from the audience, and importantly, ask some questions in return.
After the show is over, there’ll be a 5-minute break for the company, before they join us back in the theatre for a group conversation.
This will be a relaxed session exploring the key themes of the show, and what resonated for you as audiences. Families are free to come and go as they please.
Details: 3pm to 3:20pm, Free to ticketholders
