FIVE STARS - THREE WEEKS!!

Three Weeks have just printed their review of our show:

Three Billy Goats Gruff & Other Furry Tails
Theatre of Widdershins/Escalator East to Edinburgh
Almost entirely sold out for the second year running, this show is the perfect place to take your kids this Festival. The storyteller has come from the magical land of Three with three wonderful stories to entertain you. The performance is full of fantastic puppets and has a bright, colourful set, helping to tell these tried and tested tales in a new and novel way. The Three Little Pigs made me laugh, and the audience were encouraged to join in with the huffing and puffing, which built a strong rapport with the storyteller. Goldilocks has a modern twist, and the Three Billy Goats Gruff boasts the best puppet (the Troll!). Get a ticket while you still can.
Scottish Storytelling Centre, 2 - 23 Aug (not 3, 10 or 17), 11.00am (12.00pm), £7.50 (£5.00), fpp 18.
tw rating 5/5

Three is the magic number

He's done it again. Andy Lawrence, storyteller and puppet-maker extraordinaire, has created another perfect kids show. Back at the Fringe for the third year running, following the success of The King's Got Donkey's Ears and The Elves and the Shoemaker, Lawrence proves that going that extra mile makes all the difference.

We can only guess how many hours he puts into designing and creating his sets and puppets - and then be thankful that he does. Tiny doors open to reveal hidden animals, flaps are lowered to transform a forest into a beautiful cottage and puppets appear in all shapes and sizes - each lovingly crafted by hand. As the three tales unfold - Goldilocks, Three Little Pigs and Billy Goats Gruff - you never know what?s going to appear next, or from where. Lawrence himself is an immensely likeable performer who engages the entire audience, young and old.

It's really lovely going into our venue everyday and meeting all the audience after the shows and having a chance to ask them about the show. They all seem really thrilled with the badges that we are giving away. It's such a lovely place and not like anywhere else at The Fringe.
