Wild, wild woods

 A Wild West fairy tale mash-up with physical storytelling, puppetry, live music & audience interaction.
‘Wild, Wild Woods’ premiered at The Pound, Corsham for Christmas 2022.

Deep in the woods, the legend of a hooded hero rustles through the trees.
Some know her as Robin, but first, she was Lil Red.
Moons ago, a hungry pack of wolves came for Lil Red’s village. With nothing but the cape on her back and her trusty bow and arrow, Red and her ragtag band of Merries are on the run. 

Saddle up and join the outlaws as this western fairy-tale comes to life with foot-stomping original music, imaginative storytelling and a whole heap of junk from the recycling bin.

Wolves made from bin bags, cardboard steeds and a vicious newspaper goose
will have you discovering that one person’s rubbish is another person’s goldmine.

Our show has an age guidance of 6 + but you know your child best! This show includes dark fairytale content, violence (mostly comedic) & mild threat to characters
