The House That Jackson Built
by Half Moon Theatretheatre, children-and-family
A magical new show about the power of imagination, family, memory – and recycling!
about the production
Jackson’s dad is building a new house out of weird and whacky bits and bobs thrown away by the local builder. The last few years have been hard for young Jackson, living without his mum. Now his dad wants to make a new start, but Jackson isn’t ready to move on. Not until he blows the dust off mum’s favourite old book and conjures up the Story Fairy. But can stories really help Jackson believe in himself and be happy in a new home? The House That Jackson Built is Justin Coe’s brand new spoken word show for children.
