Taking a well-known traditional story (you know which!) as a starting point, the play follows an unconventional path through the woods....
Using beautiful visual effects, inventive puppetry
and original music, Freehand Theatre has created a play of special
magic with young children in mind.
The music for this production has been composed by Hugh Nankivell, whose credits include work for Opera North, The National Theatre of Scotland and the Anglo-Japanese production, Whaletone. Hugh has been appointed as Dartington Hall’s first featured composer.
A reassuring world where wolves are kept safely
between the covers of books; a world in which, out of the blue,
a red box has a song to sing and a forest grows before your very
eyes.

“The interpretation of the story is artistic and has so many aesthetic elements that we feel the children have been greatly enriched by it. The show has stimulated the children and feedback from them has been wonderful.... altogether this excellent show has a balanced refinement which is very rare to find”
Strand Infants, Grimsby
