Handmade Tales, Southbank Centre

Five exciting new stories, live music and some surprising props combine to create Tap Tap Theatre's innovative family show.

These tantalising tales explore all edges of the imagination, bringing magical worlds, special super powers and the supernatural to life with a flourish of music and movement. The audience is swept away into the stories and some become a part of the show as they are woven into this interactive production.

This isn't the typical and tired fairytale fodder; as the stories switch dynamically there's a whole cast of new characters and subtle demonstration of moral messages that challenge ideas rather than preach.The rich variety of narrative worlds will not only thrill young and not so young, but also inspire children to think up their own imaginative worlds. 

Tap Tap Theatre are fringe and festival favourites thanks to their playful and energetic brand of family theatre. Since being set up by a group of talented students while at Bristol University, the theatre company has gone of to tour their shows in London's Arcola and the pop-up Udderbelly along with Edinburgh Fringe and a variety of festivals.
