This Breathtaking production for family audiences marks an amazing coup for the Peter Hall Season, as for the first time ever a production transfers from the Royal Opera House to The Theatre Royal Bath
A young girl finds herself alone late one afternoon in Kensington Park where a cast of sprites and faires hover between the lakes and monuments and a shadowy realm beckons through the fairy ring.
Faeries uses a combination of puppetry, dance and old-fashioned storytelling to propel audiences into a magical world of mystery, imps and fairies inspired by illustrator Arthur Rackham, England’s most celebrated children’s book artist
Renowned choreographer Will Tuckett has a reputation for creating intelligent and humorous work that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Working with highly-acclaimed puppet company Blind Summit Theatre together they have created a celebration of the innocence and mischievousness of childhood. With choreographed puppets manipulated by the dancers who then transform into the fairies they manipulate, this promises to be an inovative and awe-inspiring show filled with enchantment.
