The Wellies - theatre at Exeter Library

The English Touring Opera are back at Exeter Library for another brilliant and accessible family show, perfect for early years and SEN audiences.

Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Galoshes of Fortune, The Wellies is a fun and immersive story about magic, splashing, and being careful what you wish for.

Milly is bored. She’s stuck at home; it’s raining outside, and she’s played with all her toys. She finds an amazing pair of shiny talking wellies with a special secret power; every time you jump in a puddle, the splash you to any time and place you desire...

The Wellies takes its audience on an adventure propelled by kids desires and passions, and the delight of splashing in a puddle! Every place the wellies takes us has a different feel and engages the children’s senses in a new way. It centres on an imaginative and brave central character, and the journey she goes on with her new welly friends, both relishing an adventure, and appreciating home.

This event will last for up to 1hr and take place in the Children's Library, at Exeter Library. The venue is fully wheelchair accessbile and there is an accesible toilet on the ground floor. During performances of The Wellies, audiences are able to move, vocalise, tick, stim and react to the piece freely. If audience members need a break, they are welcome to leave the performance and come back at a later point. We ask that parents and carers take responsibility for the safety of those in their care.
