Scrunch

A gentle, playful theatre experience for babies aged 6–18 months, unfolding at a baby’s own pace and ending with time to play together.

A very small play for very small people.

It’s winter. A baby is tucked up in bed, the room is quiet and all is calm. Then… ding dong! Someone’s at the door. A card arrives, then a parcel, then another. What’s inside? There’s only one way to find out, as audiences rustle, rip and scrunch through the wrapping paper together.

Scrunch is a gentle, playful theatre experience for babies aged 6–18 months. Created by theatre maker Sarah Argent, it is crafted around the simple things babies find fascinating and funny, with a cosy, hygge-inspired world, twinkling lights and a jazz-inspired musical score. After the story ends, there is time to play together.
