IMAGINE LIVE is a 60 minute stage adaptation of Alison Lester's award winning children's book, Imagine, a bestseller since its first publication in 1989.

Using this book as a window into conversations about the environment, positive mental health, the power of creativity and intergenerational relationships, the work is supported by a beautiful original musical score. Characters and objects will travel seamlessly between real and animated worlds, responding and transforming in real time to the input of the audience.

Three live performers brimming with fun, friendship and ideas, embody creativity as they play and sing through the pages, building scenes from items located around the stage, connecting a long distance video call between a Grandmother and Granddaughter. The richly colourful scenes from the pages
of Imagine are brought to life through digital puppetry, animation and creative play.

Age Recommendation: 4 - 10 years olds and families.
