SHOW DESCRIPTION

Join Manx Family Concerts for the magical musical journey of a little barn owl called Plop, who is frightened of the dark. Over the course of the show, and a single night, Plop learns more and more fun things about the night, and is gradually persuaded that the dark might not be so bad after all. 

This enchanting family concert is based on the classic tale by Jill Tomlinson which has been enjoyed by audiences, both young and young-at-heart, all over the world, and has even been recommended by clinicians as a treatment for nyctophobia! Brought to life through storytelling, live music, and a touch of theatrical wonder, this heartwarming tale is one not to miss!
