You are invited to a discussion session on Taboos in Children’s Theatre
Imaginate event in partnership with Lung Ha’s Theatre Company
Thursday 4th August, 1700 – 1900, Stockbridge House, Edinburgh
Booking necessary – details of how to book included below.
What makes suitable drama for children? Should children be entertained and challenged, or should a trip to the theatre be an escape from the pressures of everyday life? Is it taboo to address the issue of death, suicide, mental health and family breakdown in theatre for children?
Imaginate is delighted to be working in partnership with Lung Ha’s to welcome Suzanne Osten to present her views on Taboos in Children’s Theatre at this discussion. Osten states: ‘There are no taboos, only adults’ ambiguous ways of trying to deal with things.’
Suzanne will be joined by a panel including Andy Cannon, David Greig and Lu Kemp to discuss and debate this provocative topic.
