ABOUT
Join 10 year-old Taaliyah on an interactive adventure as she rides London’s longest Night Bus route, transforming the sleepy streets into a wonderland with her vibrant imagination. It’s a long journey, full of unexpected and exciting challenges, but she’s determined not to fall asleep - because Taaliyah knows that with a little help and a lot of courage she can overcome anything the world throws at her. Featuring puppetry, poetry and physical theatre The Fourteenth Stop is an uplifting experience for all the family.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Speaks of Rivers are a Black female-led physical theatre company who create original work for Young Audiences.
United by their passion for storytelling through movement, Speaks of Rivers believe that theatre is a brilliant way to bring people together and inspire positive change. Founded in October 2020, Speaks of Rivers’ creative practice has been characterised by the shift to digital theatre-making in response to the pandemic. Their aim is to develop work that welcomes members of the neurodiverse community and they integrate BSL, captions, and audio-description into the shows they create. Using puppetry, spoken word, music, dance and more, Speaks of Rivers hope to share original stories with audiences across the UK.
AUDIENCE ADVICE
The audience will need to create a toolkit of items from their home and pack them in a rucksack/bag.
