Award-winning Children’s Author, Oliver Sykes, brings his smash-hit family show to Cletwr following a 2022 sell-out national tour.

 

Written and Performed by: Oliver Sykes

Age guidance: For children 5yrs+ and their grown-ups

 

Running time: 55 minutes (no interval) followed by post-show snack, discussion and activity - children working together to write a text message/whats app message to Alfie, giving him their advice and competition.

 

Award-winning Children’s Author, Oliver Sykes, is taking to the road in Spring-Summer 2023 with a funny and heart-warming debut show that packs a punch – for children (aged 5+) and their grown-ups.

 

With phenomenal critical acclaim and high praise from some of the biggest names in boxing, Oliver is fast establishing himself as one of the most exciting rising stars in Children’s Theatre and Literature.

On the surface, it’s a simple adventure story. Think Crime-Thriller meets Rocky Balboa! But it’s also about love, loss, family and learning how to fight for what you want.

Inspired by Oliver’s own experiences growing up without a mum and being coached as an amateur boxer by his dad, Alfie’s First Fight centres itself around shy twelve-year-old Alfie, as he decides to go in search of his missing older brother, Jacob, when he disappears moments before an all-important boxing match…
