Performances
These are our most "theatrical" shows and are the ones which we tour to theatres and schools. They are one man shows but involve large sets, lots of puppets and props and have original soundtracks by composer Martin Thornton. These shows have been criticially acclaimed by venue managers and reviewers (at Edinburgh Festivals) and we are now only touring the shows depicted, on a rolling four year schedule, between September and March.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NO LONGER SUPPLYING PUBLICITY MATERIALS
Snow White Rose Red Bear Brown
Snow White and Rose Red – sisters, twins, best friends – have lived in the forest since they were Babes in the Wood. Brought up by their hardworking Mother to be kind, caring and forest fluent... if sometimes a little over enthusiastic in their deeds!
When their quiet life is interrupted by a friendly bear a new chapter begins. But why has the bear chosen them as playfellows? Why is there sadness in his eyes? And who on earth is that rude little man with a ridiculously long beard that they keep bumping in to?
All questions will be untangled in this new show from the Woods of Widdershins, using puppets, storytelling, original music and a fantastical fairytale forest.
The Gingerbread Man & A Pot Full of Magic
“You can’t catch me, You’re much too slow!
I like to run wherever I go”
Can YOU catch that slippery little biscuit, the Gingerbread Man? You’ll need a big bowl of porridge first to keep your energy up. Don’t worry if you haven’t had yours this morning, Granny Grinpickle’s Magic Porridge Pot has made enough for everyone!!
These two tasty tales which you know so well are served with unexpected spices and quirky flavours, along with Widdershins’ trademark ingredients of puppets, pop-up sets and original music. Perfect fare for fussy foodies and discerning diners. Bon Appetit!
"If there's one thing you quickly learn at a Theatre of Widdershins show, it's that nothing is at is seems. One of the chief delights is wondering what Andy will transform next. There's no age restriction on finding wonderment in transformation" (***** THE LIST)
