Lost and Found: Heart-warming adaptation of children’s book at Factory International

Our mini reporters Arabella and Olive have been on an epic journey to the South Pole… *ek-hem*… okay… to Factory International in Manchester! Just as cold, right?!

They were invited to enjoy the heart-warming adaptation of Oliver Jeffers’ award-winning children’s story, Lost and Found.

This magical stage show has been adapted by renowned children’s TV and theatre producer Will Brenton. Original music composed by Gruff Rhys – who many will know as the guitarist and vocalist of Super Furry Animals as well as for his award-winning film and theatre scores.

Featuring puppetry and video projections, a cast of characters that charm and delight, not to mention a gang of rowdy seagulls – expect to laugh and be moved by this touching tale.

Oliver Jeffers, author of the children’s book, said: “I can’t wait to see the book be brought to life onstage by Will Brenton and Gruff Rhys. It’s set to be a really enjoyable show for children and families”

Check out our mini reporters’ reviews below.


The show is running from December 12, 2023 until January 6, 2024. Affordable tickets start at £7.50
