Fairies tale
On Halloween night, when magic is at its most powerful, two worlds collide.
Fairies Tale follows one human who doesn’t believe in magic… until they find themselves lost in the fairy world, with no way back. As the line between the human and fairy worlds begins to blur, the fate of both hangs in the balance.
Guided by mysterious forces and magical encounters, they must find a way back to London through this enchanting and unpredictable world – but first, they’ll need to believe.
Join Chickenshed Theatre for a gentle, magical story filled with wonder, imagination and a touch of mischief, perfect for young audiences and families to enjoy together.
