Eight-year-old Mirabel wakes up after the end of the world to find herself alone, except for her old faithful Bear. Everyone else appears to be gone.
And so, Mirabel and Bear set out on a journey across the new desert to find an adult to take care of everything. On the way, they'll acquire a ragged gang of fellow travellers, including a visionary red-eyed dog, and an injured pilot who insists he's not the grown-up they're looking for.
A sad, strange fairytale, Mirabel is a story of what happens when you refuse to accept that you're lost.
Mirabel is the new solo from the creator of the much-loved The Adventures of Wound Man and Shirley and the award-winning Men in the Cities .
I really liked the story of Mirabel. I thought that her story was really interesting. The end was pretty weird and I didn't fully understand it. I think it would be really interesting to see how it was done on stage but it is still a very interesting piece of theatre to read. It's very different from a lot of theatre I've read which I did enjoy, I always like finding new types of theatre.
