How big is a million? Is there a man in the moon? What colour is music? Can I touch light?
Following a hugely successful run at the Barbican in 2005, Theatre-Rites are delighted to be touring ‘The Thought That Counts’, a show that asks all the big questions - whether you are 5 or 50. Join the cast as they create a magical place with animated shapes, music and video. This critically acclaimed production whirls away into other worlds and is a playful and enchanting performance for families and school groups.
The original production of ‘The Thought That Counts’ was co-commissioned by Barbicanbite05 and the Young Vic as part of Young Genius 2005. This production will be touring the UK between February and April, with the support of an Arts Council Grant for the Arts Award.
