'Meet Sunny Ray: happy, light, a true wonder of the world. Sunny loves her life but has always secretly wanted to know… what happens when she goes to bed? Meet her best friend in the sky, the Magnificent Moon: the all night party guy who gets to stay up late every night. Then one bedtime Sunny Ray breaks all the rules and doesn't go to sleep. Find out what happens when the sun and moon stay up all night together.

'From the imaginations of Clare Bartholomew and Daniel Tobias, creators of the internationally acclaimed Die Roten Punkte and Arena Theatre Company, and featuring original music inspired by everything from folk to funk, disco and pop, Sunny Ray and the Magnificent Moon will delight audiences aged four years and over.'
