Stories Alive - The Story Cart Show

Watch out for the travelling storyteller and his Story Cart, he’ll be bringing his cart full of tales to Barnstaple. Settle down for a tale, but what story? No one truly knows in advance as the gathered audience will help decide, and as this story cart transform into a stage, maybe you will get up and join in an adventure or two.
With a variety of stories to choose from such as classic tales of Robin Hood or Thor's Hammer, to lesser known yarns, like The Devil and the Three Golden Hairs or Lothsome Worm of Spindlesone Whugh, we'll decided the story as a group, and work together to tell the tale.
Each story is an interactive romp with actors (young and old) invited up from the audience to join in the action and fight a dragon or swing a sword. No 2 shows will be the same.
