'Stories in the Dust': Theatre Show for Children aged 5 - 12

'Stories in the Dust': Theatre Show for Children aged 5 - 12

by Anna Harriott & Iona Johnson

"The sun beats down on two travellers, journeying across a mysterious land in a contraption they've built themselves. They sing, play games, and tell stories inspired by a collection of precious things they've gathered from a time gone by."

With live music and puppetry, Stories in the Dust is a funny, heartfelt and hopeful eco-fable that takes you to another world where an ancient book guides the way, a drop of rain changes everything and a mighty lion holds its secrets in an old clay pot.

Audience Reviews

'A gorgeous story with brilliant music.'

'A slice of heart warming hope and magic.'

'A really wonderful play, all my children were silent and it totally captured their imagination. Really fun ideas and great production!'

'That was the longest he’s ever sat still. He doesn’t even do carpet time at school!'

'One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.' - Luca aged 8

'Just came out of your show at Corsham with my son. I was not expecting this today, I was nearly in floods of tears. Such a powerful, moving play on survival, hope, strength, friendship and of course the elements. I could watch it over and over. You were both incredible.'

'Enchanting for the kids and poignant for the adults.. I thought it was absolutely spell-binding. The performances were so good that I was enthralled all the way through. And what a though provoking theme; so appropriate for the times.'
