Family Shows
The panto-style storytelling of Moon & Sixpence productions allows younger children to follow the story while the attention of older children and adults is held with friendly banter and humour.
RED RIDING HOOD
Our most popular family show is a panto-style version of Red Riding Hood, featuring the classic fairy-tale characters joined by a talking dustbin, who encourages children to pick up litter. This is a live marionette performance with string puppets, music and sound effects. It elicits great audience reaction – often as much from adults as from the children!
JAC & THE BEANSTALK
Jacqueline and the Beanstalk is a panto-style retelling of this traditional fairy tale, with music, sound effects and audience interaction and a change of hero to heroine. This marionette production also tackles the issue of bullying, showing how it can be overcome with the help of friends, and how bullies can change their ways when they realise the pain they cause.
CINDERELLA
Cinderella is a marionette production of the classic fairy tale in the cheeky style of Moon & Sixpence productions. The Fairy Godmother comes to the rescue when the electric pumpkin carriage wasn’t plugged in to charge overnight! With the help of the audience, the show follows the traditional tale, but with messages about persistence, being yourself and not letting others bother you woven into the story.
