Calendar of Events

Baby Love

What: Harry is puzzled... A little suitcase has arrived with tiny clothes in it — 'I can’t fit into those!' he says. A tiny bed on wheels arrives — 'I can’t sleep in that!’ he says. A huge stork in the garden... Now that really is strange.

A new baby arrives and turns life upside down for Harry. Transported from the sublime pleasure of being the constant centre of attention through the scary chaos of change, Harry discovers the pain and delight of becoming a big brother who eventually grows to love his new baby sister.

For ages 2 to 6, Baby Love is one of The Little Company’s best loved productions. Based on themes central to early learning, the story is an excursion into the egocentric world of the very young child who grapples with sibling jealousy.
