Troubadour Tales - coming this May!

I am currently working on a brand new production, "Troubadour Tales", for this year's Brighton Fringe Festival. Written by Craig Jordan-Baker, "Troubadour Tales" is a cross-discipline family show combining music, puppetry and object manipulation. Watch this space!

Troubadour Tales
From their woodland camp, troubadours Jackwynda, Jana and Giuseppe take you on a journey jammed with music, puppetry, songs and stories of mischief, magic and mystery! Along the way we encounter the largest castle in the world, a very talkative otter and a girl who fears her own reflection. So come and join us for troubadour tales!

Tuesday May 15th 5:30 & 7:00

In May 2011, I wrote, directed and made puppets for "Orson and Valentine" - a show based on a medieval folk-tale. Produced by Jake Spicer of the Brighton Life Drawing sessions, it was a successful collaborative piece with a live original music score, composed by Thomas Newman.
