If there were a prize for shows that do exactly what they say on the tin, this one clearly would be walk off with a rosette.
Expert juggler Frisco Fred and his magician sidekick Paul Nathan are our hosts for an hour as they first impress us with fancy juggling (performing various international styles and even yo-yo tricks), before getting the kids (and big kids) up to teach them how to do it themselves.
Both Fred and Paul clearly know how to work with children, and go out of their way to ensure everyone gets to participate. For the real little 'uns, they'll show them how to juggle with silk hankies (with their slow movement, it's a great starting place), whilst for the slightly older children, there's a big bag of tennis balls. And yes, most of these will end up all over the theatre!
If you've been wondering what to do with the rugrats this August, even though I can't guarantee they'll be an expert juggler after an hour, they'll have a really good time trying.
