NSFF Presents: Slapstick for Children

Join us once again in the White Room as Northern Silents take over the space to bring the Northern Silent Film Festival to Yellow Arch 

Northern Silent Film Festival presents:

Slapstick for Children

Saturday 21 October, 11.30am

Join Laurel & Hardy, Charlie Chaplin, and a host of others as they spread chaos and laughter in this Saturday morning show for children of all ages (and their adults!)

Laurel & Hardy try to build a house, Charlie Chaplin makes a mess of moving a piano - plus a mischievous cartoon cat and a strange band of disappearing street musicians…

Saturday Slapstick is a 50 minute show which brings live-scored silent film alive for children, and includes opportunities to join in with making music and sound effects.

There will be cushions and bean bags at the front of the auditorium, as well as traditional seating. The performance is most suitable for children five years old and over, but children and babies of all ages are welcome.

The Music

Live improvised music will be performed by Liz Hanks (cello) and Jonny Best (piano).
