The Story Giant
It is night time on Dartmoor and a cold wind whistles through the bracken and gorse, making them sing. Deep in his castle, the Story Giant is dying. Over the centuries he has gathered all the tales in existence…
All that is, except one.
Tonight his very life relies on finding it.
Join Shanty Theatre Company as they dash through story explosion after turbulent tale. Expect skulls with overdeveloped conversational skills, gremlins playing Johnny Cash, dragons with strange culinary preferences, fountains of blood, mountains of music, a haunted tannoy speaker, The Duke of Edgbaston, laughs, shocks, surprises, and a white D reg BMW E30 convertible, in this adventure to find the last story on earth.
Adapted from the book by legendary Liverpool poet Brian Patten, this is a family production to be enjoyed by anyone of seven years and older!
