The two groups mistrust each other\, and the children are told to never play with one another. So\, when a young Smed and Smoo fall in love and zoom off into space together\, how will their families get them back? \n\n\n\nDirected by Tall Stories’ co-founder\, Toby Mitchell\, The Smeds and The Smoos was nominated for a prestigious Olivier Award for Best Family Show in 2024. The production explores important themes of acceptance\, understanding differences\, friendship\, and disrupting stereotypes in a fun and engaging way that resonates with young audiences. \n\n\n\nJulia Donaldson said: “I loved the show–the brilliantly alien set and lighting\, the energetic acting and the wonderful puppets. My favourite was the Lurgle!” \n\n\n\nAxel Scheffler said: “It was lovely to find out a lot more about the life of the Smeds and the Smoos and all the other life forms on their far away planets in this delightful play by the Tall Stories team. Space travel for the whole family–at its best!” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the trailer\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.themillartscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/1920-x-1080-1.mp4?_=1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £16.00 \n\n\n\n£14.50 when booking 4+ tickets (discount automatically applied in basket) \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nWednesday 11 to Friday 13 June 2025 \n\n\n\nWednesday at 4.30pm\, Thursday and Friday at 10.30am and 1.00pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour \n\n\n\nAge guidance: \n\n\n\n3+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Mill Arts Centre\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre is the cultural hub for Banbury and the surrounding area. \n\n\n\nAs the only dedicated arts provision in the area\, it aims to inspire creativity and enrich the lives of the communities by providing a high-quality\, varied artistic\, educational and participatory programme. \n\n\n\nIt plays a significant role in the town’s cultural\, social and economic development by offering the community the chance to engage with and be entertained by several art forms. \n\n\n\nThe Mill Arts Centre offers an exciting live events programme\, including theatre\, dance\, music\, comedy\, film\, workshops and classes.
