Black Bread & Tired Feet

A starburst of storytelling for the whole family inspired by three Russian folk tales:

Baboushka, The Little Snow Girl & Ivan Gets it Wrong.

A young traveller meets old Baboushka on her everlasting journey in search of the baby king.

She tells him magical stories of those whose wishes she has made come true. They are acted out with original music and lively comedy.

"The company renowned for pushing back the boundaries delivered the goods."
