  • Wheelchair user access

Claytime is a play made from two things: clay and children’s imaginations. Award-winning theatre company Indefinite Articles invite children to help them make up a new play on the spot – you dream up a story, they’ll create it with clay.

Each Claytime is totally unique, creating its own world, its own characters and its own stories inspired by its young audience. So join Indefinite Articles and help to make a new world of fabulous forms, amazing animals and morphing monsters.

Stay and play
The performances will be followed by an optional 20-minute stay-and-play session where children can get hands-on with the clay used in the show. Suitable for children age 3+ with a responsible adult.
