Rattle Box Theatre

THOR! Tall…brave…strong…but none too bright. Sometimes his days are not always full of heroic thunder, but instead are filled with hapless blunder!

 

Like the day he was almost married to a grumpy giant. Or when he was shortchanged as the golden presents were handed out. And then there was the time he had to be rescued by his son, Magni, who was only three days old… how embarrassing!

 

These ancient Nordic tales are brought to you by Ulf, Odd and Gróa the sorceress, in a comedic romp through the life and times of the Viking gods.

 

Rattlebox and Angel Heart Theatre present this family show with their usual flair for skilfully blending puppetry, storytelling and larger-than-life characters into a performance full of wonder and delight! SKOL!

JOIN IN INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS

Circus Skills and Hoop Workshops with Jenna Moran

Roll up, roll up for a dazzling array of circus skills. Circus skills demand a certain level of attention and concentration. Our workshop engages young and old whilst actively encouraging them to have fun. This, in turn, sharpens their focus to participate and encourages them to persevere. By using a variety of equipment such as diabolo, spinning plates, juggling balls, Hula hoops, Poi and devil sticks, this workshop motivates people to not only enhance their physical awareness but to develop their team-building skills and improve their self-esteem.
