The home inside

Written by Emma Rattenbury
Presented by Wonderlight Theatre Aotearoa

Winnie is a homebody.

She finds joy and escape in drawing and playing with her soft-toy, often staying up into the early hours of the morning absorbed in her creativity.

One morning struggling with tiredness, frustration, and anxiety about going to school, Winnie's emotions erupt into a tantrum, transforming her bedroom into a fantastical natural world.

Guided by nature's creatures, Winnie navigates challenges that mirror her inner struggles.

Each encounter teaches her new ways to manage her emotions, from breathing techniques to embracing change. As she overcomes obstacles, Winnie gains confidence and resilience, learning to self-regulate and find comfort within herself.

Wordless, exquisite, special
Theatreview (on 2022’s Wonderkind)

Underscored by music, puppetry, and striking visual design, The Home Inside is a heartwarming tale of emotional growth, self-discovery, and the power of nature to heal.

An exquisite new work for children, ideal for ages 4-8, from the team that brought you ‘Wonderkind’.
