The kids take it in their stride, but for accompanying adults itвЂ™s a reminder that thereвЂ™s still magic out there, if you know where to look for it. But this is Punchdrunk, and eventually we do go Somewhere Else (it would be a spoiler to say where). And I think maybe thereвЂ™s a bit of an allegory for dementia in there the miniaturesВ are the rooms of Nanny's memory, with a suggestion that perhaps she can be happy in them regardless of her present.ДЇor a while, it seems like the entire piece might simply be set in Nanny'sВ cluttered living room вЂ“ and there would be no complaints about that from an audience not expecting any of Punchdrunk's trademark fantastical world building. ItвЂ™s also about the special relationships between the very old and the very young.

First and foremostВ itвЂ™s a celebration of the imaginative powers of its audience, at an age where they can genuinely believe in magical things, in a way that adults simply canвЂ™t. It is a lovely show, that gently touches on a lot of profound stuff. Nanny states that she comes from a long line of miniaturists and is of the belief she was once able to enter the dioramas вЂ“В something Bella seems sceptical about. The main focus, though, is the delightful miniatures scattered around the flat that depict various adventures and holidays present and past. Though the old lady seems pretty spry, it becomes apparent (to adults, anyway) that there is some talk of moving her into sheltered accommodation.

Vicki (Tiffany Brissette), an android who really speaks like a robot, and stays in her cabinet when she is not in use.

Ted Lawson (Dick Christie) brought his work home one day, much to his familys surprise. WeвЂ™re being hosted by the elderly Nanny Lacey in her cluttered flat, where we meet her with her daughter, Bella (each role is shared by two actors across the run). Small Wonder was a light-hearted sitcom about a family whose father was a robotics engineer. Part of LIFT, вЂSmall WondersвЂ™ is a gem thatвЂ™s designed for a young (ages five-to-11) audience who are unburdened by prior knowledge of the company.
