The Story Forge: Make Your Own Myth
Presented by
Rubbish Shakespeare Company and Silly History Boys
Brace yourselves for pandemonium and tidal waves of laughter in this hilariously unique family-friendly theatrical adventure performed on our main stage at 2pm on Saturday 10th May.
Join the ludicrously learned (and undeniably loopy) duo, Professor Doctor Lee Hithersay and Doctor Professor Robert Rhys Bond, as they embark on a quest to forge three brand-new myths live on stage. Forget dusty history books – these academics unleash cardboard chaos and the boundless brilliance of your imagination!
The enigmatic ping of the microwave, the divine origin of the dog poo bag, the very secret of Marmite’s existence – these are just a few of the profound mysteries The Story Forge has dared to explore using nothing but their wits, a chalkboard, and a whole lot of cardboard. Now, it’s your turn to unleash your imagination and inspire even more hilarious and historically (in)accurate tales!
Will your adventure unfold on the sun-drenched shores of Ancient Egypt, amidst the icy fjords of Viking legend, or in the inky depths of Neptune’s ocean? The choice is yours! Shape the narrative, suggest the world, and even take centre stage as the hero of your very own myth (participation entirely optional, shy souls still welcome!).
From the award-winning champions of children’s theatre, The Rubbish Shakespeare Company and Silly History Boys, comes an hour of high-octane fun for the whole family. Expect side-splitting clowning, choose-your-own-adventure thrills, physical comedy capers, spontaneous improvisation, toe-tapping live music, and a mountain of magnificent tridents, swords and shields made out of cardboard.
Forge your own unforgettable story and become a legend – you’d be mad to myth it!
