Commissioned by Bristol Autism Support, ‘Alf the Highwayman’ was first devised in 2016 by Paul and Gill Simmons for Brave Bold Drama. The show was
re-developed in 2017 and continues to tour.
Alf has an eye for other people’s possessions. Especially belongings of sentimental value. He snatches and grabs without a thought for other people’s feelings.
But it’s time for him to change tack and learn that there are better ways to play!
Roll up, set a sail and join Alf as he gallops through the blustery wood, along the seashore and revels in wonder as the circus comes to town . . .
Full of imaginative play, original songs and vibrant characters – ‘Alf the Highwayman’ is a show for all the family with plenty of chances to join in and no frights!
