The Fisher and His Wife

Lempen Puppet Theatre presents...The Fisher and His Wife. A very, very long time ago there lived a fisherman, together with his wife, in a small cottage made of dirty old metal. They had everything they ever needed and were happy and content. Then one day a talking fish starts granting them wishes…

This traditional story from the fairy tale collection of the Brother's Grimm has a sudden rebirth and renewed relevance in the present day.

This is an outdoor performance, told from a box, mounted at the front of a penny farthing bicycle and will keep both children and adults entertained.

Suitable for ages 4+ and their families. Duration 20 minutes. As this is an outdoor performance please wear suitable warm clothing.
We have made our current programme of events "Pay What You Can" to make our events affordable to all our audience. However if you are able to donate the price of a ticket this will help us to continue to keep theatre affordable to all.
