Lila longs to become a firework-maker, just like her father. In order to become a true firework-maker, she sets off alone on a perilous journey to reach the terrifying Fire-Fiend. She travels through jungles alive with crocodiles, snakes, monkeys and pirates, and climbs up the scolding volcano. On finding the Fire-Fiend, she realises more is at stake than she ever imagined. Will Lila survive?
Lila’s is the kind of magical adventure that all children dream of and the gripping story of the fleet-footed heroine will live long in the memory of anyone who enters her world.
Join the award-winning Chichester Festival Youth Theatre as it once again takes to the great outdoors, this time in the idyllic countryside setting of the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum, to weave its own special brand of magic.
The Firework-Maker’s Daughter will be performed in the grounds of the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum. The audience will follow the production on foot through a variety of locations, including some steep uneven ground and slopes.
Suitable for children aged 6 and upwards.
There will be fireworks at the end of the performance.
