Bamboozle Theatre Company

Bamboozle Theatre Company Artistic Directors: Christopher Davies, Sue Pyecroft We also work with teachers, carers parents and siblings.

Bamboozle specialises in working with learning disabled children and young people, as well as those with emotional and behavioural difficulties. Bamboozle believes that each of these young people, many of whom have high degrees of dependency and complex needs, has a voice and a desire to learn and grow that needs to be recognised. This voice and desire can be expressed and encouraged through engaging with artists and participating in the performing arts.

Join the Airship’s crew on a rescue mission to the eye of the storm to find Countess Amelia’s missing companion, Giffard the duck.

During the show, audiences will be immersed in the clouds, experience the workings of the airship and maybe even have time for a cup of tea.

This show is designed for audiences who may be described as having profound and multiple learning disabilities.

⚡ Airship is touring schools and venues in February - March 2027.

"It makes me feel like ... that I matter."

We wanted to create a film of our Backyard that shares how meaningful these sessions are for families and we think this captures it beautifully.

We want all our work to make young people feel like they matter.

There are still a few places available for our Backyard Summer Sessions 🌞🍃
