‍

Theatre in the Parks is back! And on Wednesday 10th August, the incredible outdoor experience for families brings its special brand of magic to Cheetham’s Park, Stalybridge with performances of Reynard the Fox.

‍

In addition to the show, there will be two very special theatre workshops where you can get a chance to work directly with the theatre company, The Fabularium!

‍

The Fabularium tour their work nationally and internationally, outdoors and indoors, to a variety of festivals, events, theatres, and rural touring venues. Their work ranges from midscale vibrant cart shows to energetic walkabout animations, bringing a burst of vitality to any outdoor space.

‍

The tale of Reynard the Fox follows the woodland’s most infamous scoundrel who prides himself on being the trickster of the forest. But when the Woodland Court announces the theft of the King’s Crown Jewels, the animal kingdom immediately blames the fox. Reynard must do everything he can to prove his innocence and avoid certain death, as well as maintaining his devious persona. Will the gift of his silver tongue be a shade too bright against his roguish red fur to save his own tail?

‍

‍

Reynard the Fox is an engaging piece of outdoor theatre for family audiences of all ages, using The Fabularium’s unique aesthetic, strong imagery and all performed upon their traditional wooden cart, featuring storytelling, puppetry, original live music and The Fabularium’s bespoke animal headpieces. It is Suitable for ages 4 and upwards.
