Even Alexa the virtual assistant from the Amazon Rainforest - who normally knows everything - does not understand why this is the case. That is until 7 year old Red, who is afraid of nothing and nobody, explodes on to the scene. Red thinks that dad’s new girlfriend will ruin Christmas and so has run away from home to make a new life in the forest.
The Forest of Forgotten Discos! is a fun, heart-warming story that can be enjoyed by everyone this festive season - with sign and integrated visual storytelling. Tickets are on sale now priced £13/£7 – booking is available at contactmcr.com or by phone on 0161 274 0600.
