Three explores the bonds between Grandparents and Grandchildren through puppetry, mask, and shadow play. Ida, Jaanvi, and Ralph each face life-changing moments shaped by love, memory, and connection. From award-winning Smoking Apples, Three captures the quiet moments that define us.



At the heart of every family lies a story, and at the heart of every house is its kitchen. Three invites you into the lives of neighbours, Ida, Jaanvi and Ralph, to share their experiences, uncover their pasts, and learn how to make the best cup of tea.

Ida cherishes her time with her granddaughter Sophie, but as her memories fade, she feels her independence slipping away. Jaanvi shares her heritage with Anika, whose love forces her to face a life-changing decision. Ralph, content in his solitude, meets an unexpected visitor who challenges his loneliness.

From multi-award-winning puppetry company Smoking Apples, Three explores the unique relationships between Grandparents and Grandchildren. Using mask for the first time, in combination with striking puppetry and mesmerising shadow play, Three captures the quiet moments that define us.
