National Storytelling Week

description | credits | visuals

7 & 8 February, 2003
Jacksons Lane Theatre, Highgate

Stories included Just say Hic (Turkish), Beauty and Pockface (Chinese) La Sendraeoula and Parsley Girl (Italian), and Hans Christian Andersen`s The Tin Soldier. Live music by Gary Mitchell on the Sumatran talempong, assisted by Mark Holloway. Such was the effect of the show that the artistic director of the theatre asked us to create a new production aimed at young children. The result was Abiyoyo and the Musicians of Bremen which premiered there and then toured nationally.
