Four classic tales of misadventure are combined to take the audience on a journey of venerable folk wisdom, in a celebration of our shared humanity. Using yesterday’s solutions to solve today’s problems, letting a small mistake become an insurmountable mess, just not thinking things through – these tales have it all! This richly imaginative production, with each story playfully told using a different style of puppetry – from human-sized to hand puppet, table-top to kitchenware – kindles creativity, inspires role play and encourages thinking outside the box
