Will Tell and the Big Bad Baron
by Fideri Fideratheatre, children-and-family
A fun-packed theatre treat for families with capers around castles, damsels in distress, and a jaw-dropping joust on life-size horse puppets
about the production
In this reimagining of the legend of the Swiss Robin Hood, Wilhelm Tell’s fiesty young daughter Will sets off on a chivalric quest to rescue her father from the Big Bad Baron’s deepest darkest dungeon. Will, inspired by the adventures of Robin Hood, knows all about standing up to tyrants but is clueless when the Baron’s daughter Edel falls madly in love with her and also wants rescuing. Can Will with just pots and pans for armour and a donkey for a steed defeat the Bad Baron and free her father and Edel?

We are dedicated to creating new, original plays that offer engaging and entertaining shared experiences for kids and their grown-ups. When we create a new play, we make sure it will work just as well in a village hall as in a large theatre. Our plays Pitschi the Kitten with Dreams, Oskar’s Amazing Adventure, Ugg ’n’ Ogg and the World’s First Dogg and our most recent show, Will Tell and the Big Bad Baron have had over 300 performances in the UK and Ireland.

“A cracking show delivering the right dose of comedy magic. The adults in the audience were laughing as much as the kids”
"Outstanding. An August without Theatre Fideri Fidera would be like the Edinburgh Tattoo without bagpipes. Their sets and puppetry are second to none. They've roared out of lockdown doing what they do best, making children laugh while they think - or should that be think while they laugh"
"Recommended. This a great family show: energetic, pacey with plenty of opportunity to join in and let off steam."
We welcome audiences as they come into the show and find out their needs and help them find seats / a place to watch the show. We do relaxed and signed performances whenever we can.
