Me and My Shadow

Overview

If you think about it, your shadow plays an important role in your life. It follows you everywhere, keeps you company and even makes you giggle when you’re surprised by it on nights spent home alone. Pretty cool, hey? But sometimes the friendship with your shadow isn’t always smooth sailing.

Thank goodness the Patch Theatre Company’s latest production deals with such tricky friendships! Entitled Me and My Shadow, the play follows the fanciful escapades of a girl as she finds a way to be friends with her shadow. It is all remarkably told using the languages of paper, light, shadow, colour, water, music, sound and words.

The play is currently on at QPAC as part of their Out of the Box Festival – a week-long children’s festival that encourages learning and “serious fun”.  Now is the time to take your child, your friend’s child or your inner child out to the theatre!
