AN AWARD-WINNING theatre show for audiences with learning disabilities is set to arrive in Dorchester next month as part of a national tour.
The charity Concrete Youth has announced that it will be touring its production of To the Moon and Back in spring 2023.
It will arrive at Dorchester Arts cente in High East Street from Monday, March 27 to Tuesday, March 28.
The 'revamped' production will include an inflatable planetarium which will allow audiences to experience 360° projection.
Concrete Youth creates 'ground-breaking and exciting' multi-sensory theatre for audiences living with profound multiple learning disabilities.
To the Moon and Back is about a boy and his dad going on an epic adventure to space in order to save the world.
The show explores space, adventure and the importance of family and is supported by organisations incuding Arts Council England.
Daniel Swift, Concrete Youth’s CEO, said: "I’m delighted to be taking To the Moon and Back out on the road across the UK in spring 2023.
"The production was Concrete Youth’s first ever show in 2019.
"Since, we’ve reached thousands of audiences with profound and multiple learning disabilities across five continents, picked up awards and countless five-star reviews, so it feels nostalgic and special to be going back to our roots in a brand-new, revamped production of the original.
"We can’t wait to bring the show to across the country next year."
