The Story

The Fairy's Wings tells the magical story of Mabby, a fairy who loses her wings. They are special wings with special powers and without them Mabby can't get to the full moon dance - heck she can't even get to the end of the garden.

Meanwhile a little girl called Tania, whilst making a special fairy garden, discovers a pair of wings. Maybe they are fairy's wings? Her brother Troy is sceptical, "Fairies DON’T EXIST!!"

Whilst Tania and Troy argue over the wings, Mabby has troubles of her own. A fairy is not a fairy without her wings. So what is she? And where did her powers go?

Thanks to Wilbur the worm and Cyril the snail Tania finally realises how urgently Mabby needs her wings back.

Mabby gets to go to the full moon dance and dances in the moonlight madness.

And Troy? He realises that just because you can't see something, it doesn't mean it's not real!

Monkey Baa enrich children's lives in a unique way, modelling different and very creative ways of being, working and relating in all the stages of producing their shows, trucking them round the country and presenting them to audiences.
