Theo and Beeny are friends - best friends. They live in the same house in very different apartments. At Theo’s, they eat cheese-on-toast and baked beans in front of the TV and never have to clean up. At Beeny’s, they eat curry with rice and samosas at the kitchen table and always have to tidy up. They play lots of games. Their favourite game is called cloud pictures, where they can dream together. One day Beeny moves far away, to a warm place, and for a long time both boys live their own lives. They miss each other very much, but when they finally meet again, things are no longer the same.

“Cloud Pictures” is a play about differences and similarities, about friendship and loss and about finding each other again. With this work, director and designer Atif Mohammed Nour Hussein creates a sensitive world full of emotion and fantasy that will delight children and adults alike.
