A magical, time-travelling family show that begins with one big question…

“Why do people have different coloured skin?”

Children ask questions. Big ones. Awkward ones. Important ones.

And sometimes, grown-ups don’t know how to answer.

In this joyful and imaginative new theatre show, Alicia sets out to find the truth – journeying across time, meeting historic heroes, hidden heroines, and uncovering surprising stories from Britain’s past.

Blending bold visuals, playful storytelling and unforgettable encounters, this is a heart-filled adventure about identity, belonging, and seeing the world – and each other – more clearly.

Prepare to join in and help bring the show to life, as Alicia’s Amazing Adventure opens up conversations about race, history and who we are – in a way that’s open, honest, and full of wonder.

Perfect for children aged 7+ and their grown-ups
Trigger warning: Some scenes depict experiences of the slave trade which some younger audience members may find upsetting
