The Borrowers review – Mary Norton’s classic brought to vivid little-and-large life The audience sees above and below the floorboards – with a little help from puppets – as Mark Babych’s production cleverly plays with scale

Another wonderful review for The Borrowers at Hull Truck, constantly proud to be part of this production ❀️

This feels a little reductive. Theatre’s, theatre companies, museums etc. do a lot to support various group and communities, this seems like it only serves to make those spaces be perceived as even more elitist and exclusionary and as though these spaces are not for everyone.
