Save Our Sandwich is a fun, highly participatory new theatre show for children and families.
Commissioned by Durham County Council in summer 2023 as a means to inspire, educate and engage echildren in healthy eating, Mad Alice do so with such a whacky, highly energetic clownesque and physical theatre style show.
With live music, singing, lots of slaptick humour and even a quiz, the audience join Cordelia professor Queen of Carrots and Henk who is very hungry for approx 55mins of joy!
The show has toured to schools, community venues and has also performed outdoors at both Seaham and Bishop Auckland Food Festival to great applause.
Funding from WAAP enabled us to tour the show to schools in Weardale in 2025 and funding from Derwentside Trust for The Arts enabled us to tour the show to St Pius Xth RC Primary School Consett and Blackhill St Mary's R C Church's Special Needs Group .
