Meet Cuddy. He's getting ready to tell his story. Dan is here to help. They tell tales of playground games, fantastic islands, even a secret romance. But the real magic is that all these takes are conjured from the drawers under Cuddy's hospital bed. Cuddy's life is about to change. Right now he's a blueberry blue boy, sick of pills and doctors. But once he's pink, he'll be running and jumping as much as he wants, and not just in his imagination. A kaleidoscope of live action, puppetry, humour and an all-encompassing soundscape, Heartbreak Soup is a magical tale for anyone over 9 who has a heart... or two. Heartbreak Soup premiered at the Edinburgh Festival in 2008 to sell-out performances and huge critical acclaim.
