In A Pickle

An Oily Cart production commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, first performed as part of the World Shakespeare Festival 2012.

This is total theatre experience for children aged 3 to 5, their families and friends inspired by The Winter’s Tale.

The young audience join on a voyage of discovery through the landscapes of Shakespeare’s imagination and the music of his language.

The story begins when the shepherdess and her flock of sheep have a party to celebrate the sheep shearing. When they come across a lost baby, they have no idea what to do. But surely the children can help.

Following clues, they will sail the salty sea to the mysterious royal court in search of a happy ending. There are many sensory delights including beautiful costumes, enchanting live music, lovely perfumes and delightful textures along the way.

Relaxed performance at 10:00am on Saturday February 4th.
