Gaby Gulliver’s Travels at Glassbox Theatre

Indigo Moon Theatre is bringing *Gaby Gulliver’s Travels* to GlassBox Theatre in Gillingham on Friday, April 17, with two performances scheduled at 11.30am and 2.30pm. (indigomoontheatre.com) The show is a 45-minute family production that uses live shadow puppetry and animated projection to retell *Gulliver’s Travels* through a present-day child named Gaby. (cenemagazine.co.uk) (indigomoontheatre.com) In Indigo Moon’s version, Gaby is eight years old and is sent into the woods by her mother before slipping into a series of parallel worlds where she is sometimes huge and sometimes tiny. The company says the story asks how she treats others when her size changes her power. (indigomoontheatre.com) The production arrives in 2026, the tricentennial year of Jonathan Swift’s *Gulliver’s Travels*, which Indigo Moon says shaped this new adaptation. The company frames the piece as a contemporary reimagining rather than a straight stage version of the 1726 novel. (indigomoontheatre.com) The Medway date sits inside a wider spring and summer tour that includes Luton on April 9, Epsom on April 10, Harlow on April 11, Pershore on April 18 and later stops in Barry, Milnthorpe, Shoreham and Alnwick. (indigomoontheatre.com) Indigo Moon says the show was written by Frances Allison and the creative team, directed by Steve Tiplady with Haviel Perdana, and performed by Anna Ingleby with Perdana or Allison. Original music is by Perdana, and character designs are by Susanna Samanek. (indigomoontheatre.com) Anna Ingleby, Indigo Moon’s director, said young audiences at GlassBox Theatre would be encouraged to meet the shadow puppet characters after the performance. She said the production uses those characters to tell “an important story about the effects of how we treat other people, whether we are big or small.” (cenemagazine.co.uk) The venue is GlassBox Theatre at MidKent College’s Medway campus on Medway Road in Gillingham, postcode ME7 1FN. For this stop, the company’s schedule lists the same two April 17 showtimes that appear in the local announcement. (cenemagazine.co.uk) (indigomoontheatre.com)
