Beatrice and Belinda are studying for their Bees Finals. They have never been outside their hive before. If they pass their test, they will get to fly out into the real world! But when they venture outside their hive for the first time, things aren’t as nice as they had hoped. Join them to see what and who they will meet in the garden.
Buzzing! is Bombinate Theatre’s fourth play. It looks at adventure, the environment and making friends in unusual places. For first class and up or children aged 6+.
Bombinate Theatre is an award-winning company based in Dublin, creating plays and workshops for families and young audiences. ‘Bombinate’ means to make a humming or a buzzing noise. We encourage children to make noise, to ask big questions and to stay on their own buzz. We endeavour to inspire children to get creative and to engage with the arts in all its forms.
Bombinate Theatre’s productions to date include: Half Light (winner of the First Fortnight Award at Dublin Fringe 2016 and toured nationally in 2018) Susie and the Story Shredder, (premiered at Dublin Fringe 2018 to great critical acclaim and toured nationally in 2019) and Goodnight Egg (released digitally via The Civic in 2021, DCC tour 2022). Buzzing! is their fourth show which is set for production in 2024.
