Madame Kalamazoo's Magical Mail
Madame Kalamazoo is a mysterious storyteller who arrived from the Blue Moon at the start of lockdown. She writes funny daily stories for children and will send them to you for FREE via the National Theatre by email. The magical thing about her stories is that they have your children in them as the main characters!
Madame Kalamazoo’s stories are suitable for playful minds of any age, but so far 5-11 year olds seem to like them best.
National Theatre: All About Theatre
‘A brilliant introduction to the world of theatre and the people who make it’
Benedict Cumberbatch
National Theatre: All About Theatre is a richly illustrated hardback book for ages 10+, specially designed to take children behind the scenes and open up the world of theatre.
With over 128 colourful pages, this unique and lively book shows how plays like War Horse, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and many others are made, from the first idea to the final curtain.
Family Tours - Children Go Free
Following the latest government advice about Coronavirus (Covid-19), the National Theatre is currently unable to run theatre tours.
The safety of our audiences, company and staff is of utmost importance. We apologise for the disappointment and thank you for your support during this period of great uncertainty.
We look forward to when we can welcome you back, and for when you can explore the backstage life of the National Theatre again.
