Following the postponement of our tour of Owl at Home, based on the illustrated children's book by Arnold Lobel, we've created a series of short videos with George Williams, the actor and musician who was due to appear in the show in May 2020.

In a new stream of work entitled George at Home, we'll bring to life the Owl at Home stories for you to enjoy together as a family. Twit-twoo!

Owl at Home will be back on the road in 2021

So,  what’s  it  like  round  here?  The  unheard,  unbelievable  true  story  of  a  girl  called Maya;  forever  thirteen,  forever  on  the  move.     

Funny,  fearless  and  frightening, Transporter explores  themes  of identity,  difference,  conflict,  and  what  it  means  to  come  or  not  come  from somewhere.

Transporter tells  the  story  of  Maya,  a  girl  who  is  constantly  on  the  move.  We  meet Maya  as  she  stands  on  the  threshold  of  a  new  house  in  an  ordinary  city.  From  this  everyday  moment  an  epic  story  is  woven,  spanning  decades  and  continents.

 Maya - forever  thirteen - is  both  ordinary  and  extraordinary;  schoolgirl,  time  traveller, shaman.  Tales  of  classroom  conflicts,  flights  across  deserts,  ice  cream  dreams  and thwarted  revolutions  weave  together,  and  the  local  and  the  global the  personal  and political  collide.

In  a  year  that  witnessed  the  Grenfell  Tower  fire, an unprecedented  rise  in  homeless  families  in  the  UK,  and  entire  populations  on  the  move,  together  we  considered  the  questions:  What  does  home  mean?  Is  there  a safe  place  left  on  Earth?  How  do  we  navigate  our  way  through  a  world that  appears to  be  in  ruins?

Written  and  performed  by  Catherine  Dyson,  in  collaboration  with  Andy  Smith and Lewis  Gibson. 

Developed  through  Theatr  Iolo's  artist  development  programme,  Platfform, Transporter was  born  out  of  conversations  with  young  people  from  the  city  of Newport,  South  Wales.

When was the last time you were transported?

Together we will go on a journey across continents and years, down city streets, through deserts, over oceans, asking questions that echo through history. Transporter is a bold, spellbinding show, born out of a belief in the power of words to transport. Just one performer in an empty space, and an audience. An act of shared imagination. A kind of magic that happens... when you simply listen to a story. 

This is the story of a girl called Maya. A girl who is always thirteen. A girl who is always on the move. A never-ending search for the last safe place on Earth. 

Written  and  performed  by  Catherine  Dyson,  in  collaboration  with  Andy  Smith and Lewis  Gibson.  Co-produced by Theatr Iolo and The Riverfront.

Developed through our artist development programme Platfform, Transporter was written in Newport, where conversations with local young people inspired a story of universal and timeless resonance. 

Following the postponement of our tour of Owl at Home, based on the illustrated children's book by Arnold Lobel, we've created a series of short videos with George Williams, the actor and musician who was due to appear in the show in May 2020.
