“ … the sky was alive with immense blue, radiant amber and lustrous purple … lightning danced across the sky. Thunder roared like a lion – showing the ferocity of the storm ahead …” – Extract from Eye of the Storm, written by Amy Mayo

Join the Airship’s crew on a rescue mission to the eye of the storm to find Countess Amelia’s missing companion, Giffard the duck. During the show, audiences will be immersed in the clouds, experience the workings of the airship and maybe even have time for a cup of tea. Pack your bags, hold on tight and prepare for lift off.

Airship is Bamboozle’s latest immersive, sensory show made for audiences who may be described as having profound and multiple learning disabilities and who are wheelchair users and is co-produced by Curve Theatre. It will feature Bamboozle’s signature elements of puppetry, original music and multi-sensory interaction. 

There are no words that could adequately describe how amazing our session was today. Your props and songs made our students so engaged and involved in the story. It was magical to see. Shelley, Pendle Community High School and College 

The initial inspiration for this new production came from Amy Mayo’s book ‘Eye of the Storm’. Bamboozle has known Amy since she was five and she has been attending our family events for 17 years. Amy has cerebral palsy and has been described as having profound and multiple learning disabilities. She wrote “Eye of the Storm” last year to raise funds for Bamboozle. Copies of the book can be ordered from our website here.

Example of Visual Story

Rain Rain Companion Pack for Teachers and Support Staff

‘‘It was a magical, theatrical, atmospheric delight. Transporting our young people to a magical island, the interaction between actors and students created a unique shared experience.” Joni McAuliffe, The Avenue School

Inspired by Shakespeare’s Tempest, Storm tells the story of the magician Prospero, his apprentice Ariel and the creature Caliban.

Designed for autistic children and young people, this enchanting, intimate production has been carefully designed to put audience members at ease throughout, giving them space and time to move freely and experience the show in their own way.

Using elements of The Tempest and a limited amount of Shakespeare’s language, Storm tells a dramatic story of the sea, ships, islands and magic. Audience members will be welcomed into the performance space with relaxing music and during the performance will be invited to interact with the actors and the setting.

Storm has toured UK schools, featured at the Edinburgh International Children’s Festival, and toured to Shanghai and Egypt. A Chinese version of the show has been created in partnership with Shanghai Children’s Art Theatre.
