'Fireside Tales with Granddad'
by Pickled Image

Touring 2014/15

Fireside Tales with Granddad is a new show based on Pickled Images’ adorable puppet Granddad. Granddad has already had huge success with our previous show Travels with Granddad and toured in the UK for two years. Fireside Tales has been created to fit larger theatre spaces and features an array of wonderful puppets, a shadow film and beautiful stories all crafted by Adam Fuller (the puppeteer of Granddad). The show is ideal for family audiences and can suit non-theatre spaces as long as there is enough performance space.

Cuddle up around the campfire as Granddad recalls a daring escape from a hungry shark. Tuck into a marshmallow or two as he attempts to make a new set of underpants for a giant. And watch as the shadows between the trees unravel a tale of greedy goblins, grumpy trolls, sneaky princes and a very unusual princess. Exquisite puppets, captivating storytelling, beautiful shadow puppetry combine to create an enchanting show guaranteed to spark the imagination of everyone
Running time: 50 minutes approx. Intended audience: Families with childrne 4+

Fantastic interaction with the audience, quizzing the children with brilliant conversation throughout. Another sold-out performance by Pickled Image, all audience left with a smile asking when Granddad would be back. The Pound in Corsham
