MESS

Anna was part of a team of artists and clown doctors devising a classroom adventure for children with complex needs.

Led by Tenterhooks Theatre in Scotland, MESS was developed through residencies with our audiences and funded by Creative Scotland.

Such an uplifting and fun, immersive experience for our pupils (and staff!). This is the first theatre experience that has really and truly met the needs of our pupils with more complex needs. Carrongrange School, Grangemouth

Tenterhooks has been awarded further Creative Scotland funding to re-imagine MESS to tour to families and schools working with ongoing Covid-19 restrictions.
