Commissioned by Anvil Arts as part of our community and education programme, Twinkle is our latest large-scale theatrical and musical extravaganza, performed by children from Treloar School and 120 pupils from Basingstoke junior schools including Marnel, Winklebury, St Mary's, Old Basing and Four Lanes.
There are dozens of stories to be read in the stars of the night sky. Twinkle explores three of these legends: the constellations Orion, Andromeda and Cygnus, stories that are as relevant to children today as they were two or three millennia ago.
The constellations were mankind's earliest picture books and they are still a powerful instrument to inspire the imagination of young and old alike.
Remember... tales become legends for a reason!
