    Add Review/Comment

    The Tour Festival is a chance to catch two of Childsplay's touring productions which will be presented 'in rep' as an informal season finale! In My Grandmother's Purse is a delightful memory game is played between Sonny Boy and his mother, shedding light on a life well-lived. As the game progresses, two very different views of Grandmother emerge and the play explores the way life colors memory and - of course - vice versa.

        This is the best Childsplay production of the past few seasons. You will laugh, you will cry, you will relate. Great family entertainment

        I won a family four pack of tickets to this show, and it was so very well done, extremely entertaining for both kids and adults, and the actors were hilarious! Colorful, musical, engaging and fun! I recommend this play to anyone with kids, or even if you don't have kids but love a good gentle comedy. My 63 year old Dad thought it was fantastic! Collapse
