Visable Fictions presents Harold.

Written by Martin McCormick.

Directed by Douglas Irvine.

Growing up is one big adventure but not everyone can come along for the ride.

Connie and Harold have been best pals for 11 years - they're inseparable. Harold, you see, is her cuddly toy and soon Connie will be going to high school and he won’t be allowed to come along. Things are changing at home too, new family members and new responsibilities . . . 

Connie doesn't like all this growing up stuff so she grabs Harold and runs away.  However, Connie soon realises that there are more threatening things to contend with than just getting older, and Harold too has a big surprise, a magical surprise, that turns her world around for the better. Forever.

A heart warming play with songs for those aged 9 and over.

Available to book online or by calling East Kilbride Arts Centre on 01355 261000.

Cost: £9 - £15 (subject to £1.50 transaction fee)
