The Untold Fable of Fritz

3 - 4 Oct 2026

The Untold Fable of Fritz

Music, Mayhem and a dash of Magic!

A Piece inspired by Philip Pullman's short story, ‘Clockwork’. White snow seeps down from the mountain tops, freezing over the valleys and the hearts of all the people that live within it. At the foot of the tallest peak, reside the inhabitants of Brutzenvien and their King. Through this everlasting stone-cold ice age, the King's son falls ill, and the King pledges to do all in his power to save his heir. But how far will he go?

This is a devised show that uses a clothing rail in every way possible and 3 actors playing around 15 characters in under 50 minutes. An imaginative exploration into a magical world. With dance sequences, puppetry and live music, this show is a creative explosion!

The only way to describe this show is if Horrible Histories made a show set in Narnia...with puppets.
