Grandad, Me... and Teddy Too, Polka Theatre

Mia is bursting with excitement to see her Grandad. He lives on the other side of the world so his visit is a special treat. And when he finally arrives, Grandad, Mia and, of course, her beloved bear share an extraordinary adventure. Imagination's the limit for these three...

This sweet and funny family show is given an extra twinkle of magic with an original score composed by Greg Hall. It's recommend for ages two to five -- though we think you should also bring along your own grandparent and maybe even your teddy too...

THE POLKA THEATRE

A colourful building at the end of Wimbledon Broadway, The Polka has two auditoriums, the main stage upstairs and the Adventure Theatre downstairs for younger audiences (where their adaptation of Anthony Browne's picture book Gorilla was a huge success.) Though run for many years by talented director Jonathan Lloyd, it was taken over last year by Peter Glanville. The theatre specialises in shows for children aged 0-13, though when it first opened in 1967, it was similar to the Little Angel Theatre for being a company specialising in puppetry. It has gained international fans, thanks not only to its plays but also the venue, which boasts train compartments in the cafe, an outdoor playground, dressing-up boxesin the lobby and a number of antique bears inherited from Stratford-upon-Avon's Teddy Bear Museum.
