Everyone in Room 12 is excited to be on school camp, everyone except Icarus. He is locked up in a maze with a man-eating minotaur, and his Dad is stuck there too! Will Icarus’ bad temper keep him locked in the labyrinth forever or will he listen to his friends and join his father’s brave escape plan? If he can swallow his pride Icarus might just take the leap of his life and make it back to camp.
Object animation, live music, comedy, and song bring this classic Greek myth alive for children aged 8+.
