The Fetch Theatre are delighted to be going back on the road with Pedlar's Tales!

(Check out the tour dates)

Pedlar's Tales!

An intriguing, fun and interactive storyteller’s performance... featuring puppets, music and a mysterious traveller!

The storyteller weaves a magical spell and draws you into a fantastical world bringing past local events bursting into life in this fabulous show with music, featuring a host of beautiful puppets.
Bite-sized stories contained in a quirky cart have been inspired by fascinating historical documents and objects from Herefordshire Archives and the incredible Folk-Lore of Herefordshire gathered by Ella Mary Leather. 

Michaelmas Fair committee - "People I spoke to were absolutely blown away by the amazing puppets and the shows. For me, it was wonderful watching the awe struck faces of some of the children in the audience. I hope that what they saw will stay with them for a long time.

 

This is an engaging performance for families suitable for indoor and outdoor venues, festivals and community events. The show can be performed episodically enabling audiences to dip in and out as the stories are performed throughout the day or, sit down, relax and enjoy all the stories performed together as ‘Silver Joan’s’ tales unfold.
