The Dark is a family theatre show for children aged 4 and over, adapted from Lemony Snicket's picture book, about a boy called Laszlo who is afraid of the dark until the night it visits his room and he journeys to meet it. It is made and performed by Peut-Être Theatre, whose shows merge vibrant physicality with live music, and it runs about 50 minutes. Every show includes creatively integrated audio description and touch tours, making it accessible for blind and visually impaired children. It is an empowering adventure about facing one's fears.
