Little Light takes place inside an especially created Bedouin style tent, with audience members seated on cushions watching the performance unfold.

The critical consensus

Immersive children’s theatre at its most innovative.

Jordanian actors Hanin Awali and Mohammed Awad present the show with real grace and charm.

While each strand is enchanting, they do feel as though they exist in isolation with the link to the specific dog star feeling rather cryptic.

***(*)(*)Irene Brown, Edinburgh Guide, 08/04/2018

From the beautifully pitched performances of Hanin Awali and Mohammad Awad to the intricate direction of Symon Macintyre (Artistic Director of Vision Mechanics)...Little Light shed a lorra lorra light on the little things which make a big difference in our lives.
