Productions

Our shows weave together stories, poems and music

Our storytelling shows are either major productions, lasting for about two hours, or other productions, lasting from thirty minutes to two hours. Longer shows have an interval.

Shows take two main forms: epics combining a series of linked tales into a single overarching story, or medleys weaving different stories around a central unifying theme. Our shows take you to many different places - to ancient forests and sacred springs, back through history to legend and myth - in the company of heroes and villains, rivals and lovers, and wondrous creatures both real and imagined.

We design all our set-piece shows for adult audiences but they are generally also suitable for older children. For younger children we can offer bespoke medleys of stories from our individual repertoires, presented in a more informal style.

Technical requirements vary, depending on the venue and the show. Contact us for availability and for details of performance fees.

Arthur's Dream

A fresh version of Britain's greatest story - the epic of King Arthur, from his conception in sorcerous lust to his final battle and betrayal - all encompassed by the secret cave where Arthur sleeps, waiting to return.

Robin of the Wildwood

An ecobardic reworking of the legend of Robin Hood - from the heart of the wildwood comes a champion of freedom, a guardian of the trees.

Voices from the Past

Adventurers and explorers return from the tomb of history, torn through time to tell, in person, their own true tales of discovery.

Return to Arcadia

A goddess abducted, a land made desolate, a love that conquers death. Ancient Greek mystery myth combined with modern travellers' tales.

Dark Age Deeds of the Celtic Saints

Celtic saints carried the torch of civilisation in an age of barbarism, faced monsters and kings, and ploughed the waves in search of earthly paradise.

A Fair Field Full of Folk

Visions of life, love, death and redemption from England's Middle Ages - a colourful tapestry of tales and music that open a medieval window on today's world.
