Brace yourselves for the bad temper of that little fiend Cristobita and prepare to weep over the desperate plight of the sweet and lovely Rosita! This summer really heats up as Imaginary Beasts proudly brings the high-spirited and free-wheeling world of Federico Garcia Lorca’s folk-plays to vivid life.

Using an imaginative blend of live action, masked performance and puppetry-arts, our farce tells the Punch-and-Judy-like story of how one little lovelorn lass is forced to become the unwilling bride of the insatiable and ridiculous Don Cristóbal, Master of the Billy-Club!

Filled with the rhythm, the magic and the subversive spirit of Andalusia’s traditional puppet-theatre, our production will be a celebration of Lorca’s legacy that you won’t want to miss.

ANIMAL TAILS marks the first presentation of our ongoing performance project: WEE BEASTIES, which will be designed to offer young children and their families regular opportunities to share free performance events, while also giving children a chance to witness quality performances that will encourage future participation in the performing arts – as audience and/or artist.
