press release: "Wild!" -- tutti frutti (United Kingdom)

Ages 8+

Wild! caputures the life of 10-year-old Billy from his funny, quirky, distracted view of the world. In this beautifully-written show, we see the world through the lens of a boy who has ADHD. Billy develops a passion for bees and takes over the care of his absent father's beehive which helps him escape from his chaotic family and difficult time at school. With live music, this uplifting, funny, and moving production leaves us thinking about how we might better understand others and ourselves. Written by award-winning playwright Evan Placey, this brave new play celebrates all things ‘wild.’
