Something wild is prowling. She can hear it through her bedroom walls, but her mum and dad seem stuck in the dull routines of their everyday lives. Until one day the wild breaks in and everything changes.
A troubled family’s world turns upside down when a tiger invades. It’s chaotic, it’s dangerous but brilliantly funny as the tiger reignites the family’s love for one another. Enjoy captivating dancers and the thrill of sitting right up close to the action with a chance to explore the set at the end.

Barrowland Ballet
Barrowland Ballet is one of Scotland’s most exciting and successful contemporary dance companies built around the artistic work of choreographer Natasha Gilmore. The company produces high quality, accessible dance theatre performances which tour nationally and internationally to small and mid-scale venues. The work’s themes are delivered with wit and humour, and the insightful observations of human behaviour are rooted in personal stories.
Natasha Gilmore was the UK nomination for the ASSITEJ Award for Excellence 2017 for her work for young audiences including Little Red (7+), Whiteout (11+), Tiger Tale (7+) and Poggle (6 months – 4 years). Barrowland Ballet's work has gained critical international acclaim, to date the company has performed in festivals across Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Chile, Egypt, Ireland, Japan, Norway, Poland, South Africa, the UK, the USA and The Nethaerlands.
Alongside the company’s professional work, Barrowland Ballet produce exceptional participatory performance projects; the two are interdependent with each inspiring the other. Participatory projects include intergenerational performances Wolves (2017), The River (Commonwealth Games Festival 2014), Bunty & Doris (2013); and Wolf Pack, a free, intergenerational company in Glasgow with participants aged 7-80 years old.
