Polka Theatre

Merton

4 upcoming events

£10 to £18

Polka is a theatre for young audiences, and the programme shows it. Most of the work is family theatre, made for children and the adults who bring them. Expect range. Some shows are loud and playful. Others are quiet and slow, made for the youngest in the room. Familiar stories come back in new shapes, and the seasonal work leans towards winter and the Christmas period. The crowd is mostly parents, grandparents and carers, with small people in tow. That is part of the appeal. A good children's show has to hold a five-year-old and an adult at the same time, and this theatre seems to know it. If you are new to it, pick by age, not by title.
