Modern Cautionary Tales For Children is a groundbreaking poetry show written and performed by BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live poet Murray Lachlan Young.
A mixture of poetry, stand-up comedy, storytelling and a touch of panto, Modern Cautionary Tales For Children shows kids (and former kids) that poetry can be fun, thought-provoking and occasionally quite cool.
Exploring horribly hilarious ways to die, disco-dancing polar bears and the not-so-delicate tale of Annie McClue (the girl who did not flush the loo), this is an enlightening performance of merriment and mayhem.
Modern Cautionary Tales For Children is suitable for theatregoers aged between five and ten years old.
