Adapted from The Pentamerone: The Tale of Tales, these high-energy, whimsical, funny wonder tales are cleverly intertwined and a lot of fun.
Spin and weave the tangled roving into one thread of magic. Snap the scissors shut right before the happily ever after. 17th Century Italian Giambattista Basile travelled from Venice to Naples collecting the most marvelous fairytales.
Tim Ralphs (British Award for Storytelling Excellence winner 2012, **** Fringe Guru, Edinburgh Fringe 2014) rouses them from their inky sleep in a joyful performance that dances from the frivolous to the magical. This is a panoply of some of the most lyrical, characterful and hysterical fairytale stories ever offered up for performance. Seven Godmothers, a sleeping Prince, a weeping girl and an enchanted doll that makes its owner crave more stories. MORE STORIES!
