by PuppetCraft

An original play written for PuppetCraft by Patrick Cooper.

Based on The Thousand and One Nights, the world's most fantastic collection of stories.
For children ( and adults ) of four years upward.


Join us on the travels of Sindbad. With music of the East, with light and shadow, with exquisitely carved string puppets, we unveil a world of giant birds and hidden treasure, genies and magic carpets.

Prepare to be entranced!

           

Feel free to enquire about bookings, with no commitments.
