My house is orange
The ceiling is furry
The walls are jaggy
The faces are shiny
I like my house
It's a lot like me

My house was created during a residency as Drama Artist with Starcatchers at North Edinburgh Arts Centre in 2007. It was aimed at children aged 18 months to 3 years and their carers.
The show toured throughout the UK and to Bologna, Madrid, Salzburg, Helsinki, Hamm, Berlin, La Corunna, Limoges, Charleloi, Lichtenstein, Belfast and on Broadway as part of the Scottish Children's Festival at the New Victory Theater, New York.
Created and performed by Andy Manley
Designer - Claire Halleran
Music - Danny Krass
Producer - Rhona Matheson
"Andy Manley's beautiful new toddler show" **** Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
"A charmingly simple and quirky piece. Deeply silly, yet enchantingly accessible to toddlers." **** Mark Brown, The Sunday Herald
"...the perfect introductory stage experience for budding broadway babies." (Full review) Time Out Kids, New York
"For a little under 30 minutes, performer Andy Manley builds a world with such a slow and gentle development that Beckett would have been proud. He takes the barely furnished room upstairs at NEAC and simply but deliberately, builds another world there - but one which really only exists in the imaginations of its audience, mums and toddlers alike." Thom Dibdin, The Edinburgh Evening News
"Thank you - It's not often I get a chance to just stop and Be, but I just spent the most perfect 45 minutes lost in a world created by one man, a selection of bobble hats, a piece of string, a melon and a very clever cardboard box. My House - Childrens theatre at it's best. Oh and my kids enjoyed it too!!" Audience Member, Macrobert Arts Centre
