Really Big Pants Theatre

Framed! Here’s Willow, a real work of art!

Happy June - we’re outside and ready to go wild in our trusty The Wildlife Trusts t-shirt! Join the fun and get involved with nature this month... and forever!

Here we are at the Linton Children's Book Festival last Saturday! What a wonderful it was. We LOVED performing our show SUDDENLY…! to such a fabulous audience, and signing copies of our books afterwards.

What are you reading this bank holiday weekend?

Here comes the sun! We were working VERY hard today holding the line… honestly!

It’s so a buzzing brilliant excuse to share the lovely knitted patchwork blanket we use in our show COMFORT, complete with stitched bee (and B!) for the character Beanie.

COMFORT is our sensitive new show, dealing with bereavement and highlighting the importance of talking openly and honestly with children about death. Please get in touch if you’d like to know more about it and how we can perform it at your hospice or community venue - we are looking for grief support groups to partner with. Thank you. https://www.reallybigpants.co.uk/comfort/

Enjoy day two of the BRILLIANT Linton Children's Book Festival! We had such a fab time performing our show SUDDENLY…! yesterday and signing copies of our book afterwards. We were looked after so well by the whole festival team, and our audience absolutely rocked! Thank you - we love Linton!

We had SUCH a wonderful time performing our show SUDDENLY…! and signing copies of our book afterwards at the Linton Children's Book Festival! The festival team looked after us so well and the audience absolutely rocked - it was so joyful. And always a treat to see Brian the lion! A really big thank you for having us, Linton - hope to see you again!

We are honoured to be taking our sensitive new show COMFORT to Herefordshire next month to perform privately at St Michael's Hospice - Hereford as part of their work with Hope Support Services for children.

COMFORT focuses on bereavement, countered with humour and energy, to highlight the importance of talking openly and honestly with children about death.

Beanie is eight when her beloved mum dies in a hospice, leaving her with tangled memories and a carefully knitted blankie for comfort. What do you do when someone you love so much has gone forever? Beanie must navigate a new way of living, with friends, classmates, and adults unsure of how to behave with her.
But then the blanket goes missing at school. As Beanie’s world unravels, can a tight-knit community help her deal with her grief?

This 30-minute show acts as a springboard for discussion and raising awareness for support. Please get in touch if you’d like to know more about COMFORT and how we can bring it and the accompanying craft activities to your school, bereavement support network, hospice, or other setting.
Thank you.
Love Joe and Willow xx

Wisteria hysteria! Wishing everyone a lovely weekend xx
