Perhaps you would like to see a working spinning wheel, or dance to the sound of a renaissance lute, but would you cope with the Miserable Fairy?

An exciting storytelling project that the children will remember for years to come.
Graham uses an extension of the drama technique "Teacher in Role" to tell this famous traditional tale. The style enables the children to act out the various characters within the story; the queen, the messenger, the cook, the people in the castle, soldiers and of course Sleeping Beauty herself. Graham plays the part of a character in each scene which enables him to carry the story forward. There is even a (not too embarrassing) part for the teacher.

Fairies, soldiers, cooking, castles, Knights, princesses, games & messengers.
