comedy, children-and-family
Dare you go back to those Nursery Rhymes? Nonsense, nastiness and roaring chaos as we turn our childhood tales upside down to find out what!
about the production
Lurking on our bookshelves, forgotten and dusty from lack of love, sit short sinister stories. Hiding in plain sight. Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales. Some famous, some lost….for good reason? You’ll find out. Join Gav Cross for deep dives into the words we seem to know so well but we never really listened to. More nonsense, nastiness and roaring chaos as we turn our childhood tales upside down to find out what lies beneath!
