Based on the much-loved novels by Tove Jansson, this heart-warming show tells the story of a year in Moominvalley. Moomintroll wakes up in the middle of winter with a 'something-wrong-feeling'. There's no sign of his good friend Snufkin, or the note Snufkin left him. As winter turns to spring and Snufkin returns, the days lengthen into a lazy summer and 'the sea brings them all the adventures they could wish for'.
British theatre group Get Lost and Found was commissioned by the Tove Jansson literary estate and Moomin Characters to create a new theatrical experience for children aged 3 – 7 years. The result is a delightful show full of magical puppetry, an ingenious pop-up book set, original music, and interactive storytelling. Mischief and Mystery in Moominvalley was created in consultation with Sophia Jansson, Tove's niece, and echoes the books' themes: the love of nature, the value of friendship, the pain of separation and the acceptance of difference.
"Mischief and Mystery in Moominvalley is an engaging and hugely entertaining show that brilliantly embodies themes from Tove's original stories such as love, family, respect and fun - universal values that are more important today than ever before. I am so excited that the show will bring these essential values to an even wider audience."
Sophia Jansson, Creative Director, Moomin Characters
"a beautifully-realised, charismatically-led event, able to both command energy and captivate attention"
