Skellig

When a move to a new house coincides with his baby sister’s illness, Michael’s world seems suddenly lonely and uncertain. Then, one Sunday afternoon, he stumbles into the old, ramshackle garage of his new home, and finds a strange creature – part owl, part angel, a being who needs Michael’s help if he is to survive – Skellig.

With his new friend Mina, Michael nourishes Skellig back to health, while his baby sister languishes in the hospital. But Skellig is far more than he at first appears.

This immensely popular children’s story, originally a Whitbread Prize and Carnegie Award winning novel, is vividly brought to life this Christmas in David Almond’s own wonderfully magical stage adaptation.
