If you like your tales tall, your fables furry and your stories splendiforous then Gripping Yarns are just what you need!

 

Hear about the underground goblins who steal dumplings; see a Djinni appear from a barnacle encrusted bottle; join the Oogadugga clan as they search for fire in the depths of the Ice Age… and find out what noise a jackal really makes.

 

So many strange characters – some scary, some brave, some ridiculous – appear throughout these stories in bandit filled forests, deserted castles and even under the sea.

 

Gripping Yarns is a collection of story-shows told and performed from suitcases and treasure chests. They are very visual, using puppets, props, hats and, of course, fake beards! Suitable for many ages – old and young – but mainly for those aged 5+
