A tragedy has struck Breadnibbler, king of the mice, and everyone knows who’s to blame: the frogs. Now a battle is coming to the pond, and it’s time to pick a side: will you fight for the frogs or the mice?
Originally told as an introduction to epic poetry for Ancient Greek children, join our storytellers as they guide you through an interactive adaptation, using traditional storytelling, improvised music and toy-box puppetry.
We are working to help make all our shows as accessible as possible, to all audiences. With this in mind we have asked our companies to record a short audio introduction to their work, to help improve the experience of the show for those with visual impairments.
