Sidney's Shed
by Rhubarb Theatretheatre, children-and-family
This is no ordinary shed and Sidney Waffles is no ordinary gardener…
about the production
Maisie is running from the bullies and thinks she’s found the perfect place to hide. But this is no ordinary shed and Sidney Waffles is no ordinary gardener… Inventor, explorer and winner of this year’s ‘Best-Veg-in-Show’, the potty flower-potter has made some unusual improvements to his allotment – Sidney has created the world’s first time travelling shed! Join Sidney and the bravest little girl in Windy-on-the-hill as they take a time-travelling journey to dig up the past and weed out the bullies! Bursting with historical hilarity, and prize-winning cabbages, Sidney’s Shed is Rhubarb's new show for gardeners of all ages!

My children were totally riveted throughout
