Stone Soup
A wandering stranger holds the secret to making delicious soup fit for the finest folk in the land.
But can they really make soup with just a stone?
Join Eye of Newt for their re-telling of this traditional folk tale which invites audiences young and old to help a stranger in need. With the power of community, kindness and more than a little imagination, everyone in town will enjoy a taste of delicious Stone Soup.
The show will be performed outdoors (weather permitting) in both Blackburn and Darwen. Performances last approximately 45 minutes and will happen at 11 am and 2 pm on both days.
