😁 Come see our show 😁 We've done our first

😁 Come see our show 😁

We've done our first week of rehearsals and it's all very exciting!!

If you're after a show with magic and fun, projections and music, family orientated and relaxed, Meal One is for you.

You're just going to love this, Meal One is based on the iconic children's book by eccentric Glaswegian musician Ivor Cutler.

It’s a really simple story but one that will immediately appeal to anyone with an inner child, and the augmented reality brings a completely different dynamic to the work and creates a theatre experience that many people may not have had the chance to enjoy before. The fiercely talented cast tell this story beautifully and we're sure that both children and adults will be moved by this unique production.

See where we will be this February, booking is open ---> https://www.509arts.co.uk/project/meal-one (link in our bio)

🌟 LOVELY FEEDBACK 🌟 "I felt happy and smile

🌟 LOVELY FEEDBACK 🌟

"I felt happy and smiled a lot. It was completely bonkers and weird but because of the visuals, sounds and score you can see how it would engage and draw audiences in especially children and those with sensory and developmental issues."

Great feedback is lovely to share! why not see for yourself when we tour with MEAL ONE this February.

Bring your family and friends and experience a show like no other, the set comes to life in a sea of projections to enchant and entertain you.

Meal One is a new family show based on the children’s book by Ivor Cutler and Helen Oxenbury.

MEAL ONE is a three-person production starring Min

MEAL ONE is a three-person production starring Mind the Gap artist Zara Mallinson as Mum, Wakefield-born Isaac Sugden in his first professional role as Young Helbert and classically trained tenor, composer, theatre maker and educator Sandeep Gurrapadi as Old Helbert.

Yorkshire talent at it's best!!

As part of the immersive experience, you will be invited to meet the cast on set at the end of the performance.

Meal One is based on a 1970s children’s book, it tells the story of 10-year-old Helbert, his Mum, a dog and a cat. When they plant a plum stone in the bedroom floor, a huge tree quickly fills the room, turning it into the best tree-house-playground ever. But when they go downstairs for Meal One – the first meal of the day – they discover a kitchen full of tree roots busily munching through anything edible they can find.

Tour dates for Meal One are:

Meal One will be filled with projections, it’s a family show that uses a multitude of technologies to create a truly immersive theatre experience; from breath-taking projections to music, singing and dance, as well as other unexpected surprises.

Part installation, part live performance, audiences can explore an augmented reality trail in the theatre foyer ahead of the show and explore the set at the end to fully immerse themselves in the digital technologies that make the storytelling so unique.

One morning. Helbert woke with a plum in his mouth

One morning. Helbert woke with a plum in his mouth. He pulled it out and held it between his fingers for a good look: it was purple and juicy.

“Who put it in my mouth while I was asleep?’ he wondered.

"Me!" shouted his mum, stretching her head out from under the bed with a great grin on her lips.

“Hello, Mum!" he smiled.

You'll recognise this from MEAL ONE, the childrens book by Ivor Cutler, Helbert and his Mum prepare for the day by planting a plum stone in the bedroom floor unleashing a series of extraordinary adventures.

We're so very excited to bring MEAL ONE to life in a magical immersive theatre production designed to ignite your imagination with pre and post show augmented reality surprises in what we think is the show of the year 😉

👋 Welcome to the world of Meal One 👋

On our website you will find lots of activities, videos and pictures, all about Helbert and his world. You will also find a pre-show support pack for those who would like to feel prepared for what will be in the show and what to expect at the theatre.

We believe that continued exploration of the ideas and themes in a performance can deepen our responses and connections. To continue Helbert’s fantastical story we’ve created a few different activity packs for you to look at and try out. After each show we will hand out an activity sheet, but there are also loads of online activities here too. You can look at them online, or print off parts of each activity to try.

Head to the link in our bio to explore more.
