Multistory Theatre - The Firebird

A magical telling of the traditional Russian adventure.

Prince Ivan and his brothers set off in search of the fabled Firebird, which has been stealing golden apples from the royal orchard but Ivan's brothers soon fall by the wayside. Guided by the Wise Woman of the Wild Woods, Ivan enlists the help of Vanya the Wolf, the Horse with the Silver Mane and Princess Yelyena the Fair. Together they rescue the Firebird from Lodgoth, Tsar of the Frozen Wastes and head for home. But the adventure has only just begun...

The story is performed by two actors who bring to life a host of characters and transform everyday objects into fabulous creatures. They present all the shades and complexities of the adventure through a thrilling blend of live music, song, puppetry and physical theatre.

Sam O' Shanty has lived his whole live at sea, ever since he first stowed away on board ship when he were just a wee scrap of a lad. Since then he has sailed all the Seven Seas- from Devonport to Durban Bay; from Nantucket to New Guinea; from Cape Wrath to the Cape of Good Hope.But now Sam has come ashore with his two shipmates, Davy Lad and Sonny Jim and together they have got all manner of marvellous stories to share.

Aye, there be tales of beguiling mermaids and batty sea witches. A roisterous retelling of Blackbeard's comeuppance, as well as tangled yarns of lucky escapades, hidden booty and beasties of the deep. The Sam O' Shanty show is a nautically comic entertainment for all the family. Crammed with facts, fantasy and farce! And with puppetry, storytelling and the singing of shanties tis sure to enthral and delight Huzzaaaaaaaaaar!!!
