‘…A
non-patronising piece of kid-friendly theatre that inventively
welds together live animation and film….
The puppetry is exemplary and the multi-media stuff impressive’
Venue magazine
‘
Memorable puppetry and stage mechanics’
Western Daily Press
‘The
interest of the young audience never wavered, you could say the
performers and writer-director had got it just right’
Bristol Evening Post
Using beautiful
puppets, film and weird effects The Chatterbox
tells the story of nine-year-old Billy who inadvertently finds
himself stuck inside the Chatterbox, an extraordinary machine
that allows him to travel into the world of books. In his efforts
to escape, he follows a trail of clues through some of the greatest
and worst writing in the world, meeting characters as diverse
as Ben Gunn, Sherlock Holmes and the Big Bad Wolf. Hot on his
heels are the sinister bookworms, furiously devouring his tale
as fast as he can tell it. Will Billy solve the mystery of the
stolen pieces of the books he enters before the bookworms eat
the final thing left in his story – Billy himself?
The
Chatterbox is an action packed, extremely funny and an
utterly engaging 55-minute performance that will have the audience
talking about it for ages. This show will appeal to audiences
who enjoy Green Ginger, Gonzo moose, Peepolykus, The Muppets and
a good ripping yarn.
