The Smeds and The Smoos – Redgrave Theatre, Bristol

Take your pupils on an out-of-this-world adventure into space this spring with a joyful tale of star-crossed aliens!

Based on the award-winning book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler and following Magic Light’s hugely successful BBC animation this Christmas, why not see the tale re-imagined on stage and explore the story with EYFS and Key Stage 1 pupils.

The Smeds and The Smoos tells the story of two rival groups of aliens living on a far-off planet: the Smeds (who are red) and the Smoos (who are blue). The two groups mistrust each other, and the children are told to never play with one another. So, when a young Smed and Smoo fall in love and zoom off into space together, how will their families get them back?
