Varmints returns

Varmints is back!


Sadler's Wells co-production with East London Dance and Stratford Circus Arts Centre delighted young audiences when it first toured in 2013. It is now preparing to make a triumphant return to the UK tour scene in 2015.

Based on the book by Helen Ward with beautiful illustrations by Marc Craste, Varmints is a heart-warming tale about one creature's struggle to find peace in a world in danger of being lost forever.

Choreographer Wilkie Branson and director Sally Cookson got together this week to talk about the restaging ahead of rehearsals happening earlier this year.
