Presented by Catherine Wheels Theatre Company, The Unlikely Friendship of Feather Boy and Tentacle Girl tells the story of a boy who wants to fly and a girl who wants to be a monster.

Co-created and performed by Sadiq Ali and Vee Smith, the show is a 55-minute breathtaking experience which has something for both young and older audiences. With amazing choreography paired with aerial and acrobatic skills throughout, all performed beautifully by Ali and Smith, the audience is drawn into the story right from the start until the end of the piece. The sometimes audible gasps from the audience are testament to this.

Running until 17th August at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, this show has something for everyone and deserves another run in the future.
