Like a tiny bomb exploding in the middle of your life, the baby arrives - and suddenly the world you knew becomes a different place entirely. 

 

Two couples negotiating the first year of parenthood are guided by our playful narrator, Laura. A baby is more than Natasha bargained for – and she's also wondering whether boyfriend Jay will ever grow up. As a flood of plastic balls and children's toys is unleashed in the middle of their marriage, Sam and Ronnie struggle to stay afloat despite their careful plans.

 

How do our priorities shift when we become parents? How do we adjust – and what happens if we don't?

 

An honest, funny and touching show with a live score played on children's instruments, Tangled Feet take a sideways look at how we cope with our children – and how our parents coped with us.

Reviews

“ Highly original...Kicking and Screaming will leave a stamp on your heart long after you leave the theatre. ” - www.thepublicreviews.com - “ The imaginative use of everyday items, using bags of sand and play balls as babies was a really exciting spin on storytelling, and breaking into song every now and again kept up the pace of living with a newborn; frantic and unpredictable....The tight-knit five piece cast really shone throughout the show...They were passionate and gave their all, and their voices were fabulous. ” - www.hiddenhartlepool.com - “ I loved it and my son sat still the whole way through! ” - Baby Friendly performance audience member - Derby - “ Amazing choreography, superb acting. Great use of props. I just loved it. ” - Audience member - Margate - “ Wonderful, joyful but poignant ” - Audience member - Margate - “ Wonderful, moving, funny, creative and imaginative. ” - Audience member - Salisbury -
