Wren's World
About the show
Wren and her sister Robin experience the world very differently; Robin seems to have it all figured out, but to Wren, the world is loud and busy and confusing. To make sense of it, she creates her own magical world full of adventure, where she makes the rules.
But there's about to be a big change, and for the first time, real life worries start to threaten the safety of Wren’s world. Can the sisters use their differences to help each other navigate this shift?
Wren’s World is a playful, and affirming story that is brought to life with exciting visuals and stunning original music.
In an evolving society where we are discovering more about our differences, this show is for anybody who strives for kindness and acceptance.
Wren’s World is touring 2027

Ash Cox, Disabled Artivist and Creative Access Producer and Consultant.
Lowry Learning and Engagement department.
University of Salford.

More about this project
All four members of our theatre company are parents of neurodivergent children and know firsthand both the challenges and the magic that comes with that.
We want to provide an accurate stage representation for young autistic people that sheds light on the day to day challenges as well as celebrates the beauty of an autistic mind.
We want to challenge people’s misconceptions about what autism can look like, especially in young girls (who on average are diagnosed up to 6 years later).
The world needs more disability allies and we think theatre is a great way to do it!
