ROOLABOOLA CHILDREN’S ARTS FESTIVAL 2009
Monday 19th - Monday 26th October
The Linenhall’s annual arts extravaganza for young people, celebrating its 12th birthday with a bulging programme of top quality shows, workshops and much, much more. See our pulsating RoolaBoola brochure for full details. While the action comes to a climax over the Bank Holiday weekend, there are also public shows during the previous week that we’d like to draw your attention to, shows suitable for families and engaging and entertaining enough for adults on their own too!

A spellbinding new opera for children that tells the story of the child that was to become the best known flautist of them all… the Pied Piper.

Written and composed by Conor Mitchell. Suitable for ages 9 years+. Adm.: €8

Teatergruppen Batida - Spaghetti
“Spaghetti makes you tall”, say the two lanky fellows. And then they cook spaghetti right there on stage! But then their neighbour, who is short and round, wants to join in the feast. A charming, heart-warming story about irreconcilable opposites, a fun-packed mix of clowning, theatre and live music presented by Denmark’s Teatergruppen Batida. Suitable for ages 4 years+. Adm.: €8
