ONCE THERE was a boy who was always looking up. He dreamt of having a star as a friend. Then one night, he decided to set about catching a star of his very own.
This is How To Catch A Star, the much loved children’s book by Oliver Jeffers, which has been staged to great acclaim by the Galway theatre company, Branar.
.
Branar, in association with Town Hall Theatre, will present a film version of How to Catch A Star, streamed to 24 venues around Ireland, from Monday November 29 to Friday December 17.
Schools can book to receive access to the filmed production for a full week and receive access to a dedicated online educational resource pack for pre- and post-engagement.
This adaptation combines an original score by Colm Mac Con Iomaire, puppetry by Grace Kiely and Neasa Ní Chuanaigh. It is directed by Marc MacLochlainn with design by Maeve Clancy.
