Ruby Red Tells Tales

Created and Directed by Sarah Argent

Once upon a time, RUBY and her friend ELLA were waiting - waiting impatiently for SOMETHING to happen.

They squabble, they sing, they playfully tell tales:
FEE FI FO FUM! What big teeth you have. All the better to eat you with.
Who’s the fairest of them all? You are. The glass slipper. It fits!

Join them in a magical fairytale world where they meet a timid tiger, a slightly scary spider and laugh with surprise as the gingerbread man meets a sticky end!

An enchanting physical and musical performance using everyday objects and young children’s retellings of stories from around the world to create wonder and wow!

Marcos

 

Marcos

Following the mythical, yet true, story of a boy who grows up in the wild, but is later found and brought to the city to be 'tamed', Marcos challenges the younger audience to examine and question man's relationship to animals. As the tale unfolds, and Marcos relates his experiences, with the props around him transforming into animals, themes such as growing up, making sense of the world, and bullying are also explored.
