Meet Raven Varmint. She is always on the move, roaring, exploring and getting twigs stuck in her hair. Her mother tries to keep her still, safe and hidden – but Raven has never known why.

On the eve of her 10th birthday, Raven discovers a powerful secret about herself – she was born with a wild heart. She decides to leave safety she has always known, but will her wild heart be accepted in the ‘neat and perfect’ town of Honeyville…?

A beautiful and mischievous show for 5-11 year olds and their adults, filled with uplifting live music, puppetry, and a tremendously cheeky talking gargoyle.
