THE FISHERMAN & THE GENIE
Storytelling by Andy Lawrence, Theatre of Widdershins
Kalifah, the fisherman, has a hard life! Big ships and over-fishing have brought him nothing but poverty. So when he stumbles across an ancient looking bottle – an antique, maybe? – things start to look up. But what does the bottle contain? Join us to find out, in this visually exciting presentation of one of Scheherazade’s lesser known tales.
'Meticulous and imaginative design... cleverly conceived and beautifully realised. He had the rapt audience squealing with delights'
