The Birmingham Rep, Polka Theatre and Little Angel Theatre production of The Snowflake will tour 18 libraries across Birmingham and the West Midlands during January and February 2025.

The show ran at the Rep and the tour has been devised to give more families the opportunity to see the tale inspired by Benji Davies’s children’s book of the same name. Tickets will be free or at a low cost because of funding from Arts Council England.

Matt Aston adapted the production and directs. It has been created for children aged three to six and their grown-ups as an introduction to theatre for younger audiences.

Reprising their roles from the run at the Rep are Layla Mehay–Bennett who is Noelle and Heidi Goldsmith who plays Mum and Pappie.

The tour schedule is available at the Birmingham Rep web site.
