Tales from the Trees

Squashbox TheatreBooking Info

Join Squashbox and enter a tremendous world of trees, from branch to leaf and twig to root, from berry to blossom and bark to fruit!

Meet Craig, the friendly Forest Ranger and resident tree expert. It's his job to make sure the woods are a peaceful and happy place, but he's having a tough time of it today! A cheeky squirrel has stolen his chocolate covered nutty snack bar, his niece Little Red has wandered off the path on her way to Granny's house, the mysterious old Wizard of the Woods is playing tricks again, and there are even rumours of a big bad Wolf in the forest!

"a highly talented actor, musician and puppeteer"

What's on Stage

Will Craig save the day? Come and find out, and along the way learn how to identify different trees, discover the wonder of photosynthesis, meet some friendly forest creatures and encounter crazy characters from folklore and fairy tales!

Tales from the Trees is a terrific tangle of puppetry, storytelling, live music and comedy from Kneehigh's Craig Johnson, with a theme that embraces natural history, folklore and ecology. Listen! The trees have tales to tell.
