Red Riding Hood heads for unity, Liverpool on Tour, 25 Feb

Younger audiences can enjoy a magical treat unity – Liverpool when award-winning theatre company Horse+Bamboo arrive at the
venue with a classic tale later this month – Red Riding Hood.

A
young girl, a hungry wolf and a walk through the woods – it sounds like
a recipe for disaster, but Red Riding Hood isn’t scared…

Using
Horse+Bamboo’s trademark puppetry, musical talents and story-telling
skills, this new show blends exquisite visuals with pantomime silliness
and spooky moments to create an engrossing piece of theatre suitable
with lots of twists and surprises along the way.

Suitable for
children aged 4+, this new version of the timeless girl-and-the-wolf
tale continues Horse+Bamboo’s great reputation,
as their previous successful shows include this year’s
sell-out Storm In a Teacup, Little Leap Forward, and In The Shadow of Trees.

Founded
in 1978 by its current Artistic Director, Bob Frith, and based in
Rossendale, Lancashire, Horse+Bamboo make visual theatre, which they
tour from regional to international venues, art centres and festivals.
Music and story-telling is central to the company’s productions; using
masks, movement, puppetry, film, and lighting to present multi-sensory
creations for children.

Horse+Bamboo have been touring Red Riding Hood
from September 2011 and will visit over 26 venues across the UK and
Ireland, including the Babaro International Arts Festival for Children
in Galway.

The current UK tour comes to an end in March and reaches
the unity in Liverpool on 25 February.
