Faeries
Story-telling, dance and puppetry inspired by Rackham's drawings and paintings of faeries.
Edie gets lost in Kensington Park Gardens where she meets Fippery and Gluck, Anak, Drone, helps them fight the evil faerie Dolour and recovers the mysterious golden coffin.
What the critics said:
"The
best decision Will Tuckett made in presenting his new child-friendly production
for the Royal Opera House was to bring on board the puppet masters of
Blind Summit Theatre."
Debra Crane, The Times
"Anyone
curious about the power of theatre will be enthralled by this unusual
conjunction of fine writing (by Rebecca Lenkiewicz), puppetry (Blind Summit
Theatre), movement, stagecraft and deliciously oblique imagination."
Jenny Gilbert, The Independent on Sunday
"...with
the introduction of Blind Summit Theatre's terrific puppets, that the
magic really begins to glow."
Mark Monahan, Daily Telegraph
"...puppet
characters, which, courtesy of Blind Summit Theatre, are integrated with
brilliant adroitness among the human dancers and actors"
Judith Mackrell, The Independent
"'Say
how good the puppets were,' urged my eight-year-old"
Geraldine Bedell, The Observer
