“Cat in the Hat” at Curve Theatre

On December 10 a group of young people and their carers went to see an adaptation of the famous book by Dr Seuss, The Cat in the Hat.

The play has had great reviews and has been described as “a riotous romp, fizzing with energy and full of all that is bright and free and open to possibility”. The Cat in the Hat can be enjoyed by both young and old and we had some great feedback from our carers and young people. Carers noted that the play was very interactive and it was great to see the children and young people dancing and joining in. The atmosphere was playful and this made everyone happy and excited about Christmas.

We are delighted that everyone enjoyed the trip - the children had such a fantastic time that they were asking to go and see another play soon!
