Stories old and stories new, Stories on a Shoestring comes to you! Stories on a Shoestring is a different kind of puppet show where everything is made during the performance, creating a world of everyday magic...about friendship and sharing - and a little puppet called Peg Legs who only has one leg.
Where can he find some pegs to make another leg? Maybe on the washing line?
This show is inspired by stories like “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “The Three Little Pigs” from England, “The Cat Sits Spinning in the Oven” from Canada and “The Fisherman and his Wife” from Germany. Little Peg Legs meets a Giant, builds houses that are blown down by wolves and even has his wishes granted by a fish!
...a delightful combination of object puppetry, shadows, music and storytelling.

Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to fetch her poor dog a bone, but when she got there, the cupboard was bare…Or was it? A dotty old woman takes you on a nursery rhyme journey as she clatters about in her kitchen and her dancing dog sniffs out trouble in the most unlikely places.
Garlic Theatre delight children and adults alike with a spicy blend of slapstick and folk humour in this fresh and funny adaptation, with well crafted glove puppets, clowning and a feast of musical treats.
An ideal first theatrical experience for 3-6 year olds.

This play of light and shadow, the most ancient of all puppet arts, tells the classic Just-So story of Rudyard Kipling.
Inspired by traditional paintings of North-east India, these moving shadows beautifully re-create the story of the time when the world was young, when Woman tamed Man, Dog, Horse and Cow but . . . but did she tame Cat? Narrated with gentle humour, this magical performance is created using simple technology and will entrance all those over the age of five.
Performed by leading puppeteers Nik Palmer and Sarah Rowland-Barker, with sound track narrated by Pip Utton, design by Anna Welbourne and direction by Ray DaSilva.

Using a rich mix of puppetry, object theatre and storytelling, Drew Colby explores the fascination children can have with mundane everyday objects to tell the story of Ivan the Ninny, who sets sail across the sea to see what he can see.
Based on an Arthur Ransome adaptation from “Old Peter’s Russian Tales”, the story explores the importance of salt in a narrative packed with whacky characters and clever use of a picnic basket full of cups, plates and cutlery - to create a seascape, a city, a kitchen and the underwater world where Ivan the Ninny meets the royal cook, the overbearing Tzar, his daughter and even a giant fish!

It’s not always easy making friends, especially when you live in a lighthouse surrounded by dangerous rocks, towering waves and troublemaking seagulls.
An exciting opportunity for a tea party with a friend arises when the supply boat comes, but the lighthousekeeper’s nervousness turns what could have been a delight into a disaster.
It is only when a storm blows in and real disaster looms that he can find the courage to save the day and rebuild his friendship.

Adapted from the story by Hans Christian Andersen, this new musical play takes place in a fairytale world full of magical beings. It’s a world where strange things can happen to anybody. When little Kay gets a speck of dust from a magic mirror in his eye it changes the way he looks at things - anything good he sees as bad, and anything beautiful he sees as ugly.
Whilst playing in the snow with the other boys, Kay is snatched from the world he knows. When he does not return his friend Gerda sets out on a perilous journey - to what seems the very end of the world - in search of him. In keeping with the fantastical nature of the story this production incorporates puppets and masks.
Original music and songs by Andrew Dodge
