Arts programme Transported has arranged for a new puppet and masked theatre production to tour South Holland and Boston over the coming weeks.
Told using masks, vibrant storytelling and puppetry, Fen Boy is the tale of a tiny creature made from mud, who is magical, but gets the better of his new master. Easy to follow and to enjoy, the show is suitable for all ages.
Transport asked Strangeface Theatre to create a longer, one hour version of the show after outdoor success last year.
Bethan Tomlinson, of Strangeface Theatre, said: “We are really looking forward to the range of venues we are working in for Transported.
“Fen Boy will play in traditional theatres, village halls and even a seed factory! We get so much out of coming to a place that has its own story and being part of that, whether the venue is more usually used for toddler groups and pilates classes in village halls or an arts centre where we are part of the national touring theatre network.
“Each place adds something to the show as it rolls onto the next, and when the story is about a community it makes that even more special. Fen Boy grants people all their wishes in our story and we feel pretty “blessed” ourselves with a chance to come back to such a welcoming place with this fairytale.”
