The Patchwork Quilt

Grand Pavilion

Synopsis

Magic, mayhem and moonlit adventures abound in this playful adaptation from Joan Aiken’s classic tales. Far away in the snowy North country, young Nils lives with his clever Granny. She is making him a gift - a magical patchwork quilt. It is nearly finished…when suddenly it disappears… at the end you can stay to meet the cast and ask your puppetry questions! Wild winds, magic spells, and twelve very clever camels all play their part…but will Nils get his quilt back in time for his special day? This magical, musical story-ride is a collaboration with musician Martina Schwarz, who has composed an original live score featuring accordion, ukelele and voice. We are delighted to have been granted permission by Joan Aiken’s estate to present and adapt this story. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two performers combine dynamic physical storytelling, live music, shadow puppetry and hand-cranked scrolling scenery to bring these timeless tales alive again for a new generation. Featuring an original score performed live, with strings, wind and percussion, and an enchanting ‘crankie theatre ’ with moving illustrations.
