Long ago when all the world was wood the most fearsome foe was the one that breathed fire... The makers of Chicken Licken and Terry Jones Fairy Tales bring the story of Tom Thumb to life in an exciting adventure for 4-9 year old children and their families. The very first folk story ever printed in English in 1621 mixes a legend set in the times of King Arthur with Celtic folklore. This epic tale of the smallest hero in the world is told with superb puppetry, music and fantastic design. This tale is always told in times of great change, when we know the world our children will live in is going to be very different. Celebrating nature, with sensory play and participation, children are encouraged to explore their local natural environments, with music to sing along to and stepping-stones to follow Tom Thumb's adventure after the show.Presented byDNA Puppetry and Visual Theatre.
