An uplifting short film featuring BSL, storytelling and song.

Mr Popple is a kind, elderly man who lives alone with just his pet tortoise, Tommy, for company. When his neighbours suddenly find themselves housebound, he notices their struggles and sets out to share some joy. His acts of kindness transform strangers into friends (and pop stars!) and a community is born.

You can book through our box office system as you would for any show, and we’ll send a link through to you by 11am on Sunday, and it will be live until midnight. This show is being shared on a Pay What You Feel basis, so that as many people can have access to it as possible. At a difficult time for the arts, and at a time when we’re trying to support artists as an organisation, we would appreciate whatever you are able to pay for this.
