‘Dragon Fish
What do you dream about? In Dragon-Fish, Multi Story’s latest family play, the brother-who-had-a-sister, dreams of dragon-gold and huge fat trout for supper. But the sister- doesn’t have time to dream. She’s too busy digging the garden, feeding the hens and making plum jam.
The brother-who-had-a sister has an imaginary friend who takes him on underwater adventures. But the sister is too busy for adventures what with the house to clean and supper to make.
Then one day something quite extraordinary happens. A little Dragon Fish appears and their lives are changed forever.
This enchanting re-telling of a traditional tale uses colourful video and an intriguing soundtrack that’s conjured up in front of you. Multi Story have an international reputation for creating imaginative productions of the highest quality.

Hard Hearted Hannah and other Stories
Hard Hearted Hannah tells a different story every night. Featuring live Jug
Band music (think souped-up washboards, guitars, banjos and cider jugs for bass!), each new adventure is inspired by songs chosen by the audience from a ’menu’ before the show. Will it be the Boodle Am Shake or the Lindy Bird Hop? Will tonight’s tale star Smokey Joe, Scrubber Sam – or Hard Hearted Hannah, the notorious vamp of Savannah? Only one thing’s for sure – no two audiences are alike and no two shows will tell the same story...

‘The Elves and the Shoemaker’
Shooooooooooooooes ....! Ah, new shoes .... Delightful on the feet. Soft, dancing shoes; swarthy pirate shoes; silver buckle and silken soles. No one makes shoes like an elf.
This well known and well loved tale - made popular by the Ladybird Classic - has been re-heeled by Theatre of Widdershins in their own inimitable style. Beautifully crafted set and puppets, sublime music, a kaleidoscope of miniature shoes and a comic mouse all make this show a magical must-see.
