OH MY GOODNESS..LOOK WHO'S COMING FOR THE UNFRINGED FESTIVAL!!


Teaspach Theatre Company, winner of the Spirit award for innovation at Unfringed 2007, present a staging of Robert Browning’s poem The Pied Piper of Hamelin. This is a fairy-tale for grown-ups, exploring issues of corruption, selfishness and retribution through Browning’s famous, blackly hilarious text. In a daring move, Teaspach have invited four story-tellers actually from another world to the festival this year; even as you read, the motley troupe are galloping across the universe towards Limerick in their magical carriage, taking time out to hone this extravaganza of story-telling and physical theatre. They take their job very seriously – but we promise they’ll make you laugh.
