Bobbin
Ever wondered if things magically come to life when you leave the room? In this enchanting new show you might just find out… Brought to you by Tea Break Theatre, a company specialising in adaptations, Bobbin is a wordless puppetry show based on 'The Elves and the Shoemaker’. During this interactive 45-minute show, Bobbin - though small in stature - will invite you into his world and take you on a journey of epic proportion. A winning combination of music, magic and puppetry makes this wonderful show accessible to children of all ages and abilities, and certainly one not to be missed.
Based on 'The Elves and the Shoemaker', Bobbin tells the story of a cobbler who returns home from war and finds he cannot make the shoes he used to. One night, the spirit of his workshop comes alive in the form of Bobbin. As Bobbin learns about the world he decides to help the cobbler and help bring him back together with his first love.
Designed by Chris Dobson, Bobbin himself is constructed from bobbins of thread and string. Even though he is quite small he had three puppeteers who bring him to life and allow him to explore the workshop he lives in. Bobbin is new to the world and so sees it in a similar way that his intended audience of under 6s do: a colourful mismash of interesting things to be tested, explored and understood.
