Created in Finland, these these stories are set in Moominvalley and are about the characters Moominpappa, Moominmamma, little Moomintroll and their friends. Clamber through forests and float on high seas to try and find the Moomin family and learn how Jansson came up with these stories along the way.

This show is about how it feels to shape a word on your lips for the first time and a world with your imagination. Three little oddballs with contrasting temperaments try to understand the world in this piece designed for children as young as three. They will explore annoyance, reassurance, joy, frustration, fear and relief.
