The Devil’s Violin Company The Singing Bones Storytelling, live music and theatre combine in a show that's driven by haunting, dreamlike tales from top-notch storyteller Daniel Morden. The story centres on an orphan who is told dark tales to teach him about death, secrets and love. Tales, though, need to be told, so when he refuses to pass them on and instead just repeats them into a bag, the stories become rather angry. "If you’ve ever been less than taken with storytelling, put the experience to one side and be prepared to be amazed, transported and moved." - Venue |
C-Scape When the Shops Shut C-Scape are set to return to Live & Local with a charming and funny show about what happens in communities after the shops close and the shutters come down. There are three stories: the first is about three different characters who come together at their local salsa class; the second is inspired by the national post office closures and the third story mixes theatre, dance and poetry in a humorous exploration of the second homes debate. |

New Perspectives Theatre Dolly The birth of Dolly the sheep captured everyone's imagination and it was only a matter of time before someone took the fact that she was named after Dolly Parton and made it into a play! With a story like this in the hands of New Perspectives (Those Magnificent Men) you can be sure there will be lots of fun, a good dose of human interest, believable characters and great songs. |
