SUDDENLY...!
by Joe Bromley and Willow Nash
A storytelling show for ages 6+
Giving traditional tales a whole new twist! Introducing storytelling with a dash of PSHE, a hint of history… and not a wishy-washy princess in sight. This show supports and celebrates literacy.
Ready for a quest that puts a twist in the tail of traditional tales? Red loves bedtime stories with Grandma. As well as reading them from a book, they make up their own too. But one evening, as they settle down with ‘Once upon a time…’, they are interrupted by their wily neighbour, Mr Wolfe, and a race begins to save their treehouse from a faulty genie and a wicked stepmother (with a weakness for ‘stuff’) – before midnight!
Meet a magic mirror! Persuade a bird of paradise to lay an egg! Take a trip on a flying carpet! And can you help Edwin, Mr Wolfe’s spoilt but lonely son, start his own story?
We’ll be signing copies of our accompanying illustrated chapter book SUDDENLY…! AND OTHER STORIES afterwards – come and say hello!
