Overview

A colossal storm is brewing and the great flood is coming. Yet only one man and his family are doing anything to get ready. Noah has built an Ark, bigger than he ever thought he could, and now all the creatures on Earth are coming to save themselves, two by two into the Ark.

Can it be that Noah, his wife, his sons and his soon to be daughters-in-law will be the only ones to survive? The rain starts to fall, the Ark’s doors must close and an extraordinary journey must begin.

In this fresh, colourful adaptation, full of original music, movement, masks and puppetry, Chichester Festival Youth Theatre tells the epic, miraculous and occasionally funny story of Noah’s journey through the storm.

The first part of the performance will begin outside the Festival Theatre in Oaklands Park, then ticket holders will move to their seats in the Theatre on the Fly.

Rachel Barnett’s work has been performed in the UK and internationally, including at Hampstead Theatre, the Royal Court Theatre, Theatre Royal Bath, Lyric Theatre Hammersmith and Manhattan Theater Source, New York.

Dale Rooks is Director of Chichester Festival Youth Theatre. Her productions include The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Firework-Maker’s Daughter, Peter Pan and Toad of Toad Hall.

Suitable for children aged 6 and upwards.
