A swinging sixties story of unconditional love from the UK’s leading full mask theatre company.
It’s 1966. The record player’s on, her hair’s bobbed and eye-lashes curled: for seventeen year old Susan, life is an adventure waiting to begin. But what happens next turns everything upside down, and its repercussions will last for decades to come.

From the the company that co-produced A Christmas Carol at Exeter Northcott in 2015 comes Graham Greene’s Travels With My Aunt. Four actors take on over 20 characters in this hilarious mad cap dash around the world with Henry Pulling, a retired suburban bank manager with a penchant for dahlias.
