Laszlo is afraid of the dark. The dark lives in the basement. It doesn’t visit Laszlo in his room. Until one night it does . . . Join Laszlo on his journey to meet the dark, and find out why it will never bother him again.

Adapted from Lemony Snicket’s picture book, The Dark is a universal and empowering family adventure about facing one’s fears.

Merging vibrant physicality with live music to create captivating performances, The Dark is accessible for blind and visually impaired children through integrated audio-description and touch tours.

We loved the musicality of the show, the voice of Dark in particular. The story is funny and engaging for children.

📍: Battersea Arts Centre
📅: until 31st October
🕰️: 11am, 2:30pm
🎟️: Pay What You Can (Recommended Price £15)
