Bedtime and Badtime Stories

Loosely based on Victorian Cautionary Tales. We bring you "Bedtime and Badtime Stories". A puppet performance about grotesque children and their antics.

Witness the ballad of Lew Polperro, who met an unfortunate end due to lying and Ode to Trispen and Ermea – they were told not to eat the apple pips!  Plus many more!

With life sized puppets, wonder and shadow.  Live music and our usual sprinkling of magic!

FEEDBACK:

Dear Joe,

I am writing to thank you and the cast for the amazing performance you presented during our Book Week.  I have experienced many live theatre companies in school over many years and I can honestly say that your company were outstanding.

I have included in this letter some quotes from our pupils:

“The puppets were amazing.  I really liked the tiny puppets by the tree.  It was so clever how they went from being big puppets to little puppets like that”.    Millie Age 8

“The live music really enhanced the show- it all joined together very well”.  Tristram Age 11

“I loved everything! I can’t really pick my favourite part because it was all brilliant.  I did like the story of the boy who picked his nose and got his hands and feet chopped off.  That was great!”

Anna Age 10

All the feedback from the children was positive – no-one had any negative things to say at all.  The children were spellbound all the way through from Year Six down to the very youngest in Year 0.  You really did have them eating out of your hands.  What an achievement!

I shall certainly be recommending you to all my colleagues both far and near.  You may want to contact Mrs Anne Bull at Weston All Saints CE Primary School in Bath if you are thinking about moving further afield.   She is a leading head teacher in the Performing and Expressive Arts in Bath and organizes the Bath Primary Schools Arts Festival every year.  I did tell her about you so she will be looking out for you in the future.

Thank you once more for your excellent performance.  I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Very Best Wishes,

Yours truly,

Julie Simpson
Head teacher (Antony Church of England  School)
